Hey fellas I just got my second Pontiac Straight 8 today, first in running condition. So I want to do an oil change on it looks like the guy ran standard oil in it., Castrol 10w -30. But as I understand the internal oil filter setup of these engines, a non detergent oil would be a better choice. What do you guys use? Brand and weight, I live out in the heat 105+F. Coldest might be 45F.

Can I see some pictures of that Grill?

Anybody swap the hydromatic for a late model chevy transmission? I came across a transmission plate option and can get a transmission easy. My current transmission I was told was in good shape just didn't always down shift correctly. Just looking at options want to be as reliable as possible.

Thanks for the feedback, was considering the aerosol option, nominee. I am lucky enough to be doing the engine outside the car. That intake is Cast Iron Grey, correct? I am going with Black intake and grey exhaust for mine. Has anyone used the chassis black from Bill or something else? I used KBS on my Truck but that was bare metal frame, so far stuff has been bullet proof. First stuff I ever used that the brush strokes vanished.

Did you use the Aerosol or Enamel? If enamel did you brush or Spray?

That is what I needed Thanks
