I know a few members on here have Fatcats, I just picked one up a little over a year ago. I need to change the oil in it and was wondering what everyone else has been using? Anything else I should know about them?

Thanks

Not to say Az. doesn,t Been on many trips where it was blistering
hot in the afternoon and frost in the morning.

I’ve been thinking about that. I have heard that it leaks by the seals on older motors though.

I restored one a few years ago and then sold it. I ran 10w-30 in it I believe. Such a cool classic but didn't have the clearance I needed in the mountains.
