Re: IML: Anybody have a '64-'66 Owners manual?

["frank susanin" <mcic@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Matt,

    I have my father's 1964 imperial lebaron chrysler; original miles is 
43,214. The owners manual recommends the following engine oil grades:

 Multigrades:    SAE  10W-30  .....Suitable year-around for most parts of 
the U.S.,  may be used as low as -10 F. 
SAE   5W-20  .....Recommended if temperatures are consistently below 10 
degrees F.

 Single Grade:  SAE   30  .............When temperatures are consistently 
above 32 degrees F.
                       SAE   10W  ......... When temperature ranges average 
between 32 and -10 F.

     Hope this info helps.  Frank
