New oil not good for old engines
I just came across this & thought I would post it as many of us have the older engines.

Been discussed in detail on the Porsche boards - look at the Brad Penn oil - it's the old "green oil" from the kendell days.

Motor oil is all about the additive packages. If you want an interesting education check out www.bobistheoilguy.com Look at the virgin oil analysis v the used oil analysis on the various oils.

Well, since I don't go to automotive forums I was unaware of any of this. I always thought that if I used the latest API classification it was backward compatible. I posted the link because I thought others might also not be aware of this. White Bear, Thank You for giving me the info that I could use the diesel rated oils for my old 454s.

and you can add some EOS GM assembly lube if you are not certain.
