I have begun using Liqui-Moly in my Pagoda.  After being a staunch advocate of synthetic oil for decades, I have to say I am now convinced that Liqui-Moly conventional oil is the best choice for our old cars.  I had crank seal leaks that have miraculously gone away since the switch.  I'm still running synthetic in my BMW, Lexus, and Chevy Van.  The van has developed a small leak somewhere, so I'm going to try LM in that at the next change.

But have you tried this specific kind of oil that liqui moly made specifically for classic cars

I have not.  I've got just less than 3,000 miles on the Liqui-Moly in the engine now.  I'll change the oil and filter this month.  I know we all want the best of the best for our cars.  That's why I used Mobil 1, based on it's performance in several other cars.  With Liqui-Moly's reputation, I wouldn't hesitate to use this if the engine is high mileage.  Considering the heat in your region, the higher viscosity may be desirable.
