Man, am I confused!
What freakin oil should I use? My 84 NA has 112k on her, I don't beat her at all but will enjoy a spirited drive once in a while. Most times I hang around 3000-3500 shifts (once warmed up) but will never exceed 5.5k. I very recently changed my oil to Mobil 1 0W-40 (for European Cars) as I would hear a little tappet sound for a quick moment, particularly when she sits for a while and in real cold weather. I've been using Castrol GTX High Mileage 10W-40 (summer) and 10W-30 (winter) until now. Since the new oil, I've noticed much better starting and reaching perfect idle instantly however; there are a couple of you guys suggesting to stay away from 0W-40 although the local P-Dealer says differently. Living in Southern New England, the temps can vary greatly from the low 40's to high 70's in the fall. I certainly don't want to spin my bearings.
