Oil weight & Brand
What brand and what weight oil do you guys use also what motor are you running?
I had some tell me to run 10w-40 in the 305 I had.
I am going to be running a 350 just curious as to what others use.

Usually 3 months 3000 miles sometimes a little longer maybe a hundred miles or so usually pretty good about keeping on top of it
