What fluids should I use for my 1963 Corvette?

I have a 1963 Corvette coupe with the  original 327-300 horse rebuilt engine and 4 speed. From the radiator to the rear end, what brands, types and weights of fluids are best?


Scotty- thanks for the speedy reply!

Basically I just try to buy the equivalent to what they had in the factory days if they even make those fluids anymore. If not realize that modern fluids are actually better and they are all backwards compatible so if you use the highest quality ones available today for your manufacturer they are backwards compatible


After thinking about this, your answer wasn't helpful at all. I've been watching the channel and you often talk about different types of auto parts and explain what's best in your opinion. You (or more precisely, your "moderator ") gave no advice about best types of fluids for a classic car. Disappointing.

Hi @boomervette

Is there something that you’re not happy with regarding answers received to your question? 

If you’re referring to Scotty’s reply in this thread, he has answered that question personally. 

Perhaps @mod_man can point you in the right direction?


I apologize for being rude. I had heard from some folks that older, rebuilt engines and other components may require different lubricants than those called for by the original manufacturer. I was hoping to get an opinion on that and also brand names. Again, I'm sorry for my rudeness.
Thanks for your help!


No problem. Perhaps wait for some other members, who have experience with your question, to log in & offer their opinion. Or maybe Scotty picks your question & features it in one of his videos where he answers in greater detail.
