Help What oil should I use

So I have a dnepr mt-9 1973 and I'm having a hard time finding motor oil online I live in a small town far from most cities so if there is any chance someone has a link or something that I could get my oil from? (It's SAE 50 or 20-50 or so I was told)

I have a 1973 MT-9 too!

Been using 20W-50 mineral oil since day one. In -30°C it's bit stiff to kickstart but it will work.

But in all honesty, any oil seems to work with these. Some run 5W40 without problems, some get leaky alternator O-rings.

So do you think this would work or should I look for another? https://a.co/d/0ctMzwve

I used 20w50 to flush engine after full rebuild, drove something like 100km with it, now I use 10w60 synthetic in my dnepr mt11

20W50 non synthetic. Try Advance Auto where it has been recently on sale $14.95/5qts, which is enough to do a full change, but get two and do your gear oil too.
