Synthetic oil okay in the NAA?

Auto Zone as well as Advance and O'really sells conventional straight weight motor oil in quarts and gallons. I use it 30 weight non detergent in my pressure washer crankcase. I would not use synthetic oil in it.

I've used Shell Rotella 15w-40 diesel engine oil in my old Fords for many years. Walmart has good prices on it: Robot or human?

Synthetic oil is perfectly fine to use in older equipment.

Except that the vehicle may develop oil leaks. Known problem when putting free-flowing synthetic oil in an old vehicle with a lot of miles on it.

My 850 (same engine as the NAA) has lived on synthetic oil from the first day I got it, no problems.

Thank you all very much. Syn it's going to be. Fits in well with the rest of my equipment.
