8N oil Change

sherpa · Nov 16, 2014

Getting ready to change the oil and filter in my 1952 8N.
What kind of oil should I use?
How much oil does it take?
Should I put any additives in the oil such as lucas oil treatment?

buy 6qts oil, the last half quart can go in the air filter cup.. as she usually likes 5.5qts.

filter , canister element is a napa 1010 or a fram C3 or a fram C3P

NC area? i'd go 10w30 or 15w40 but nothing higher.

Thanks for posting. I will get the 10W30, may even have some of that on hand.
I live in the NC mountains, ghost town called Mortimer, 10 mile dirt road to get back in here. It is like living in the 50's. Near Blowing Rock, NC and Lenior NC.

What about some lucas oil treatment in that old engine?
