Some of us use 20w 50 and others use 10w30. A straight 30 or 40 weight oil will also work well. Use a good quality detergent oil from one of the major brands. You will not need any additives like zddp or STP. The head nuts should be torqued in steps to 55 ftlbs, and the intake to 25 ftlbs. Here is a link to many of the specifications and tune up information. http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_home.htm Tom
