15/40 diesel grade should be OK. Bristol recommended 30 sae over 32 degrees. Most people use 20/50
No they hadn't Peter. Thanks for that. Using what I have makes this complicated possession a tad easier.

The delivery should take place Fri. am. Since both are kinda strange cars to me, I'm keeping fingers crossed that they have an owner's manual in the glove box!

Thanks again
Peter (the other one)
