It depends on climate in your location. I live in Middle Georgia where it get's as high as 100+ F in the summer and around 32 F (Lows) in the winter. I use 10W-30 in some of my rides and some get the 5W-30. Your user name must be from the sheriff on Duke's of Hazzard? Roscoe P Coltrane

I have a 60 Olds with a 394 and have been using 10W-30 for the past three years with good results. A good friend who has a 1953 Olds also recommended adding a pint of Marvel Mystery Oil when we change the oil to enhance lubrication and I do that as well. Can't advise on the value but you can find similar cars for sale on Hemmings. Hope that helps.
