Great video. Good to see someone pointing out that oil isn't the same as it was when these automobiles were produced.

When I googled 1952 Cadillac oil type that’s what came up & it was on the Cadillac Laselle club, so I thought it was good advice. I’m super happy I seen your video before I drove it. I just did it this weekend.

Cadillac Laselle club said to use Castro GTX 10/40 synthetic blend.

I should change oil on one or two of my classics. I decided to buy an oil specifically for classic vehicles. Now I had to order it from the UK. Stupid enough it was still cheaper than ordering it in Switzerland where I live. I never added zinc or used Lucas stuff before. I could not even find anything in my country yet. I always using fuel guard from KENT and lead replacement in my tank though. Maybe I am dumping cash but I l love my old stuff. I think my cars are leaking a bit more when I use more modern oil. So I make this extra expenses and hope it helps.

I use a hose and siphon out most of the oil from the canister. Then paper towels to get the rest out.

I noticed you were under the car supported only by a hydraulic jack. Not safe, but I'm sure you know that 🙂

Since it isn't a full flow filter, is there really a benefit in pouring oil into the canister?
