Re: Maintenance
Here is a sample that a search brought up.
I use Redline fluids so that is what I searched "Redline"

Re: Maintenance
Use Diesel engine oil (CJ-4) or Aviation grade (depending upon how deep your wallet is).
Or Motor oil intended for classic cars.
Do NOT use Oil intended for todays gasoline fueled cars unless you want cam lobe wear and
lifter pitting. Anti-wear additives such as ZDDP are insufficient to protect high wear points in older
generation Engines with solid lifters and no rollers. Anti-wear levels were reduced due to Catalytic
converter poisoning. Unless you want lifters like the one on the right below
If during the winter months your rig sits for extended periods of time, toss in a can of CamGuard,
this bonds to the metal surfaces and reduces corrosion -- there are two formulas, one for ashless
aviation grade and one for ash e.g. metallic based/detergent oils (C or S designation).
Also, I would not use synthetic, even formulas with sufficient anti-wear additives.
For what it's worth I use ashless Aviation grade oil with CamGuard.
One of these days I need to post all this stuff

I will be running in high elevations 6000ft +temperatures ranging from 0-100
is there anything special oils I need to run or things I should do?

Re: Maintenance
Freezing to hot conditions use multi-viscosity; e.g. 20W50.
In a perfect world, which we aren't -- constant temperature use
a mono-grade oil, it has better "stick to the surface" properties,
thus less corrosion.
Again stick with Diesel CJ-4 or Aviation grade, pure mineral spirits.
Change oil after 3,000 miles.
Oh! Please add your location to your personal info, so's we know
where you are.
