SAE oil can be either detergent or non-detergent, depending on its formulation. Non-detergent oils lack additives that help keep engine parts clean by suspending contaminants, making them suitable for older engines or specific applications where such additives may not be desired. It's important to check the oil's specifications or labels to determine if it is detergent or non-detergent.

What oil should you use in a model t?

30 weight non-detergent oil is what was used in the 20s. But you can and should use SAE 30 High Detergent oil today as it will provide many benefits. If you have been using non-detergent oil then there is more than likely a sludge buildup in the engine at this time. You should not switch to High Detergent oil unless the engine has been rebuilt and totally cleaned. The reason is that the HD oil will loosen all this sludge and contaminate your crankcase. So, if you know the engine is clean then use SAE 30W otherwise use 30W non-detergent oil.
