Oil Viscosity Oil Types
TA recommends to use the thinnest oil possible to adequately protect the engine,
preferably a high grade synthetic such as AMSOIL. Thin oils circulate much better
than heavier weight oils. Thicker weights circulate poorly at start up and can cause top
end noise and accelerated bearing wear. Synthetic oils provide superior film strength
to carry the extra loads of performance combinations and are less affected by
temperature. Most synthetics will flow the same when the engine is 50 degrees as well
as 200 degrees. Using thick oils to increase oil pressure readings will not be the
solution to your oiling problems. Ask a TA Tech for more information.

Finally a reproduction 400-430-455 oil dipstick and tube
assembly. Made to function and look like original pieces. Works
correctly for all 1967-1976 Buick Big Blocks where a dipstick and tube
are required. Works equally as well on applications that originally
were a dipstick only directly into the block.
