I hope member Kartgreen chimes in. He found a source of motor oil designed for classic engines.

I like

Shell Rotella straight 30wt diesel oil. No clutch slip

In a pinch:

Castrol Straight 30 wt oil and I blend in the zinc additive found at most auto parts stores.

I'm trying Castrol 30 wt with 10% straight 50 wt racing oil.

Both of the above oils give some clutch slip under heavy acceleration.

Since I live .5 miles from work, no lights or stop signs (except on the way back) I live with a little slippage until I find my Rotella again.

Never, but never, use Chevron straight 30 wt oil. I did and it glued my clutch plates tight.
