Bill,
I have used 10-40 Valvoline in everything for 30 years. I have a 20 year old Chevy pick-up with 400,000+ miles on the original motor. It still has good oil pressure. I took a trip out to Connecticut this summer on my '70 Norton Commando, and it used a half a pint on the way out.

When I rebuilt my H, the valves weren't seating so well any more and there was a thin layer of sludge inside the motor. The sludge probaly came from not always letting it warm up good when I was using it. The valve problem may have come from running it for 10 years on unleaded gas. The tractor came with the place, so I am not sure about it's entire history.

Now everyone says that 10W-40 oil has too many additives to hold up, but it has worked well for me. So I would say that if you use a good brand of oil, it will work just fine.

BTW, we are just a little farther down the road in Delano.
