Re: [Amc-list] 1967 232 six with 122K miles- grade of oil?

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

There's also "high mileage" oils, in 10W-30, that are probably a good 
idea. They contain more zinc than other oils, and some contain seal 
softeners (like stool softeners for old cars :-) Costs a bit more than 
the cheapest crap oil, but probably worth it. Oil's not a thing to cheap 
out on.

If you can spare a few hundred $$, and are somewhat handy, you can 
really revive a motor with a valve job, if the rings are any good. If 
compression is OK and reasonably even you can liven it up and get 
another 50K miles or more. On an AMC six it's not a hard job.
