Oil & Fuel Type of engine oil for Ford 4600 SU gas burner?

[wphays]

I have a ford 4600 SU gas burner and am needing to know what kind of engine oil to use in it. I do not have a manual to reference and cannot find any information online that answers this question. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any 10w-30 would be fine.

Any 15W-40 or 10W-30 CI-4 or higher rated diesel oil will be better for this old school solid lifter engine than any current S- rated only spark ignition oil.

x1 Newer oils for gas engines no longer have the proper lubricant in them for regular lifters. Most new engines have roller lifters which don't need the anti scuff properties that the old oils had. Thank the EPA.

Well that's simple enough. Thank you all for the info
