Sorry for being so late on this, I just returned from the Nationals, where the internet service ranged from lousy, to nonexistent.

I use and advise, 15w40, universal diesel oil. High in detergents, and dispersants and higher in ZDDP.

BTW, ZDDP, is most important for freshly rebuilt engines, during the seating and break-in period. After which, the importance diminishes.

Because of the front fender braces it is probable a 1941-42. The top of the doors have been cut off, this was a common modification.

Re: Engine oil for hot weather.

Andy, I also use Valvolene racing oil in all of my older cars. It has the highest zinc content that is available, which greatly helps the longevity of vintage engines. Mobile, Penzoil, STP, virtually all of the common oils on the market either reduced the amount of zinc in their products or eliminated it.

I also use Valvoline Racing 20W-50 in my Crosleys and have for years. I find it looses less oil and keeps the oil pressure up better.
