First off: Sorry for how long that post was!!! The weather here is just so BORING that I fixate on it, lol.

I hemmed and hawed on 30 WT multiviscosity vs. monograde on my Willys CJ2A for quite awhile before deciding to go with the monograde it was designed for. I don't have a cab or heater for it, so I just don't drive it when it's below 40 F, which is very rare here lol. I don't need the benefits of a multiviscosity, so I stick with the benefits of a monograde. I applied the same logic to my Model B. I do, however, keep a jug of 10w-30 and a spare filter for both the CJ and the Model B just in case there's a freak storm and an emergency necessitates using them- I'll drain the monograde, refill with multiviscosity, put new filters on and go like the devil.

There are a LOT of advantages to using Multi viscosity... The EASY ones are cost and availability..... Everything starts easier when you have a 10w 30 ( or similar) oil in it... The straight 30wt is a very old spec... Still works, but most people say WHY use it ?

.

If you find a lot of water in your trans/rear end oil then look for leaking shifter boots, 3pt draft linkage boots, and other seal leaks. Secondarily seek out condensation. Drain the water first before starting after extended sits.

Check the blackness and feel of the engine oil. Does it feel sharp or slippery? Drain some to exume the water. If it's green water then more problems.
