For my 1965 544 I use:

Accel 10-30W SF formula motor oil (available through Amazon) The "SF" formula oil contains the necessary Phosphorus and Zinc for the solid lifters/cam.

Per the recommendation of late Irv Gordon, I use 80-90 Gear oil in my M41 transmission with a Laycock Model J Overdrive.

Hypoid oil in the differential (non LSD) per owners manual.

Do not recommend any synthetic or synthetic blend lubricants as they seem to get by the seals - even the upgraded to neoprene ones.
