Picked up an old Forklift/tractor with a Continental F226 in it. Wondering if anyone knows what i should be using for engine oil? Its about 1963 vintage.
 
Whatever stays in the longest!
If it’s like any of the Lincoln welders I’ve been around, it won’t stay in long. LOL
I use a high mileage something or other.
 
I just use 15-40 rotella in all my old 40's 50's engines.

We use some straight 30w in some of our stuff, 50W in the REALLY old stuff, and 15w-40 in the rest of it.

Thanks guys

Didnt know if i should be running a non detergent or not

Also lead additive?
 
I’d deffinetly run multi grade. I run Rotella 10w30 in my tractors, equipment, ect. Especially since your in Minnesota too and the weather varies a lot
