well i do apologize for reposts, im still learning this forum and now realise to benefits of the search.
however, trouble is finding someone with the same set of circumstances or in the same situation.
seccondly, considering the age of these cars and this, as well ass alike forums, the same questions are sure to be asked over n over as newbs enter the scene and want a more specific answer to their problems or the fact that everyday there are new answers to these questions and a little freshen up never hurt anyone.

Valvoline Nitro 70 was also a favorite with the local bikers(Harleys & Indians) back in the day

would this mean its safe to use a 20w50 motorcycle oil? say redline, castroll, or mobil one? i do have access to these for a good price, and if its fine to use, why not take advantage!?

Not knowing any history, I would change the oil, then change it again within a few months to be sure you get all the old stuff out.

i do know the oil was changed on time and the car was (overall) very well taken care of. it was my fathers car, trouble is we don't speak, he's not a "mechanical" guy and when i was younger i never payed too much attention to those details. so its easier to act as if i know nothing when asking questions.

You don't mention a concern with cost, so in light of that, the best oil to use is Motul 300V 4T (15w50).

im by no means rich or wasteful, however, i will spend the money on something i know is well worth it.
also what would be a "regular" oil change interval for the average "weekend cruiser" same as regular cars? i remember hearing its a bit longer but i have no idea to be honest. ive always done my cars, bikes ect.. well before the interval but thats just me. at 11 quarts each time, these oil changes may need to wait a little closer to their due date.
thanks for all the advice! its very much appreciated.
