I emptied the oil out of the drain plug & NOTHING came out ! I know why the two bottom bolts were not even hand tight & leeked out ! MY question is what type of oil can I use ? all the cycle shops R closed today ! I can only get like 10w 40 and stuff ! Any ideas ?

Here is a link to a thread on the subject. I know that people use 10w30 and 10w40 but I am not sure about the type as you do not want stuff with alot of friction modifiers in it. Flotek recommends useing car transmission fluid for older Ford's called ATF Type- F. Anyways the link is below and you can use the search function to find more posts on the subject. Good luck!

Go to Walmart and grab a white jug of Rotella for $10. If you prefer synthetic go with a blue jug of Rotella T for $20. It's relatively cheap and the additive package is second to none. I:I
