Enigine Oil

I think I am going to use the Rotella oil. Now I need to see what kind of oil filter I need. I have the upgraded filter, not a canister filter. Does anybody kow what that would be?

Engine Oil

It is time for me to change the oil in my 56 Tbird. It has the original 312 motor. I like to use Castrol. What would be a good weight oil to use.

56 Tbird gas gauge adjustment

How would I go about adjusting my gas gauge. It is about a 1/4 tank off. When it gets to a 1/4 on the gauge you best be pulling into a gas station. It was replaced just before I bought the car, just not sure how to calibrate it. Thanks for your suggestions!
