From: North Carolina or Kentucky. Take your pick
Run 10 % which's oil in winter and 20-25 % in summer. Don't want to press my luck on flowing in winter or overwork the fragil lift pump.

The old first gen engines are pretty tolerant of the fuel you use. In warm weather you could probably run filtered bunker fuel - pretty ugly stuff. Running used motor oil has a few risks as there are some suspended contaminates in it that won't filter out. Shouldn't be a problem as long as you drive often and make sure the oil doesn't contain a bunch of water.
