OK, I will admit to being a little out of the loop...it's been a while.  
 
Just getting the '58 TR3A on the road, it has been sitting for 5 years with
fresh oil and I want to change it now that I have started and driven it
about 20-30 miles.  The original manual calls for SAE-30 @ 40-70 degrees and
SAE-40 @ 70+.  Fifty years ago there were not all these multi-grade oils
available and I was wondering if a 10w-40w or some other  combination is a
better choice these days.  
 
I would appreciate to know what you all use for general use on the road and
around town, not competition.
 
Thanks,

BillB
