I rock Delo400 15-w40 in my Datsuns.

 

Me too. That's Chevron Dell 400. Shell Rotella T 15w40 is also good.

 

Just go to NAPA and ask for an oil that's good for a flat tappet engine. They'll know what you need.

 

DO NOT run any form of synthetic oil on a new  engine, get 5-10K on it first so it is well broken in.
