What viscocity oil should we be putting in a 1.3L Carb Festy ?

Well I'm sure there are going to be other opinions on this but I use Mobil Delvac 15W40 in all of my vehicles including both Festivas all year long. Hope this helps. -
I believe the recommended oil is 10-W30, although that could change depending on where you live...some folks run 5-30.1989 Red L- The Baron

I was using rotella t 5w40 syn, and just switched to penz platinum 5w20 syn. Long as it aint leaking out (and it isnt), its all good. Maybe ill squeeze a lil more mpg out with it.
Only thing im worried about is we have sliders and not rollers. Supertech syn wiped out my tbirds slider valvetrain, supposedly.91GL BP/F3A with boost
