Mike and others,
Fully argee with this, I have a 1956 M38A1 and use the single grade engine
oil with 1950s properties. Modern doped multigrade engine oil tends to
remove sludge which then blocks oil passages inside the engine. After I will
have pulled the engine and revised it with modern narrow tolerances in mind
I will be able to use modern multigrade oil without oil leaks. In short
beware.
Regards,
Cor
