Post by HARLEYMAN53 »

I am wondering if Texaco Ursa super LA 50 is recommended in your opinion to use in a Pan head engine?

Panheads originally used 60 wt oil.
Is there a source for 60 wt oil in Sweden?
If you cannot find 60 wt use 50 wt.

Donny Smith seems to do allot of homework on this. Short story is to shy away from SJ oil, but if options are slim….
I'm sure you'll find allot of opinions on this topic.
I thought this was a good read, check it out.

Texaco Ursa was traditionally the same as Shell Rotella T,
and I bought it by the 5 gallon pail.
