This will be my first winter with my 73'. It has a 360 V8 and up until now I have been putting 40W oil in the engine. We have had a long hot summer here and that weight oil made sense. That is because it is technically still going through a "break in" and seating of the rings since having a total teardown and rebuild 6 years ago. Estimate the miles on the engine since the rebuild at 2K. But winters can be cold here in Tennessee especially in the mornings. Would I be safer now to switch to a synthetic oil? Perhaps 10W-30? Don't want the engine to suffer due to thick oil especially first start-up in the morning.
Thanks, Donald.
