Flying Spaghetti Monster? Ohhh, Field Service Manual. It says to use 10W or 20W20.
Seems like topping off the engine, which is full of synthetic 5W40, with dino 15W40 would be a bad idea. Not sure my electric lawn mower would like it, either.

You can always burn the oil in your car's fuel tank if you're looking for a use, but please don't dump it down your sewer drain.

I would recommend that you use it. Originally I think they used ATF, but that has changed a lot in 30 years. I would drain and refill the transmission with it, and I bet it will shift like a dream. Maybe just a little more resistance for a mile or so if it is very cold.

Nate - I didn't change the oil yet, will do that shortly and will probably use Mobil 1 10/40. I think it is really a great lubericant.
