I was told to use only SAE oil on my Super C because the new stuff (ie 5w's, 10w's, etc.) have detergents that are great for new engines but may be bad for my old girl. The parts store guy said the detergent will break up old sedements built up on the bottom of the oil pan and will send them back up into the engine block.
I have to remove my oil pan and replace the drain plug (due to the current one being stripped) and i figure if i'm busting her open i can clean the heck out of her and was wondering if i can start using 'new' oils and if so which type is best. C123 engine.
Thanks in advance
