old bentley oil change..

My dads left his bentley sitting around for 10 years and its time to get it on the road again!

its a 1963 6.2v8

Now the handbook is rather vague, as is the workshop manual i found. And my internet seach comes up with nothing. What grade engine oil do you think it should take? It cant be straight 30w, and 20w50 may be a bit to thick. any ideas?? 1953 80"

What's wrong with either straight 30 or 20/50?, can't see how they'd be too thick. I reckon either of them would do the job, but I'd be looking at putting a flushing oil through the engine first, and I'd be cranking the engine over on the starter motor until I had some oil pressure.

Wow they look good! i will give them a ring in the week.

It does run but the oil in it smells rather bad, rather old. Straight 30 was what my 80" should use but i wouldn't go anywhere near that. And i thought 20w50 might be a bit to thick for the hydraulic camshaft lifters? 1953 80"
