[Chevelle-list] 400 SB (changed from synthetic oil)

[Larry Shouse]

Doug,   One of the engines my son is considering is a 400 SB. Although I told him his 68 SS396 may be worth more with a 396 in it, he says he's heard some good things about the 400 SB. In terms of performance and reliability, can you share with us your experiences? Others on the list too please.   Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: Mumper, Douglas To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 8:32 AM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Synthetic Oil I broke in my rebuilt  Chevy 400 SB with 30 weight oil then went to 10w40 for summer in Michigan.  I have a oil leak ,when I fix it this winter I plan on using Royal Purple 10w30 or 10w40 next summer.   Doug   1966 Chevelle From: Larry Shouse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 3:23 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Synthetic Oil Thanks to everyone for their input on Synthetic oil.   Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack Thorpe To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 3:15 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Synthetic Oil Live in Western Colorado use 15/50 works fine. (after breakin)   -------Original Message-------   From: Roemer, Timothy Date: 10/31/05 13:03:56 To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Synthetic Oil   I am using 15W-50 and live in New Mexico.  Seems to work fine.    Tim   '69 SS From: Larry Shouse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 11:32 AM To: Chevelle List Subject: [Chevelle-list] Synthetic Oil I'd like to hear your thoughts on breaking in your freshly rebuilt engine using synthetic oil...   Also, if you use synthetic oil in your daily driver or Chevelle, what brand and viscosity do you use?   Thanks, Larry
