I'll start the ball rolling
1973 Porsche 911 2.4S. Use is weekend / sunny days hard road driving.
Normally we recomend a good 10w-50 or 15w-50 semi synthetic minimum, if the engine is not too hard used and in good shape then a 10w-40 is also suitable.
Cheers
Guy.

15w-40 is more common, with the mileage you could give it better protection by using a 10w-40 semi synthetic, these are still 100% mineral based but offer better cold start/flow, anitwear/detergents etc.
