   Same recommendation as the newer cars, synthetic oil is the best you can get and it won’t hurt an older engine at all, it’s much better than conventional oil.

   they will have a chart in the place it is sold , just ask to look on it. I dont think it`s recommended for all cars.

   some cars cannot adapt to the synthetic oils so sometimes the old and the real oils are better. Also some synthetic oils are nixed with “chemicals” not good for old cars…

   I bought a used Classic in Pennsylvania last week and saved some cash. I haven’t had any problems yet. I only buy used cars.
