Hi , Can someone tell me what 10W30 SE CC motor oil would be used for. I know this is not directly a Corvette question but I'm sure there is someone here who can help. Thanks in advance, Bill

"SE" was an API oil rating used for gasoline powered engines built from ABOUT 1972 to ABOUT 1978 or 79. "CC" is, in this case, a secondary diesel engine oil rating from about the same period. 10W-30 was probably the most widely manufacturer recommended engine oil viscosity rating of the 70's and continuing right to this day (although 5W-30 has pretty much taken over for most GM cars).
So, this oil is from the pre- ABOUT 1979 era. Technically, it should not be used in later model vehicles.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -
