They did back in the day. I don't think there's any compelling reason
to run straight weight oil today in any old gasoline engine with full
pressure oiling today. Two cycle Detroits run it because multigrade
oils do not migrate past the air intake holes in the bottom of the
cylinder liner.
Unless you were doing a show restoration, you'd want full flow oil
filtering on any of the old Jeep engines. It's certainly possible on
the Continentals. I think it is on the flathead four, because that's
the same engine boaters use as the Atomic Four. Sailboaters who don't
want diesel still swear by them, and I'm pretty sure modern full flow
oiling is a common mod on them.
It isn't the multigrade that is a problem on no-filter engines, it's
the detergency.
Most AD aviation oils are straight weight but I don't think this is
for any compelling reason besides tradition. The AD multigrade oils
work fine in TCM and Lycoming engines. Maybe the radials don't like
them, but then again 60 and even 70 weight is de rigeur for some of
those old monsters-and in 55 gallon barrels.

Re: I've got gas
I have an Atomic4 in my boat, (1976) there is no oil filter at all. that
being said, it's in a sailboat!
less than 500 hrs on the meter. Its a 30hp flathead motor NOT based on the
Continental, or IH's Cub ...
http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/Atomic_4...any_3.html#top
She has given many years of safe, reliable performance. changed the plugs
cap conds. rotor and coil in 1994, might change the plugs next year. the oil
filtering mod you speak of is certainly available, but not all that popular
due to space restraints.
Change the oil every year and it runs just fine.

Re: I've got gas
According to the owners manual,
3 to 5 quarts of SAE 30, OR SAE 10W30. No mention of detergent, or
non-detergent.
from
http://www3.telus.net/Atomic_4_Eng_S..._Questions.htm
keep in mind the atomic4 has a wet clutch!
What oil should I use in my Atomic Four marine engine?
Type:
non-synthetic
API rating:
SG or SG equivalent
Viscosity:
Average temperature under 10°C / 50°F: SAE 10-40
Average temperature over 10°C / 50°F: SAE 20-50
Atomic Four Engine Service recommends only the motorcycle oils listed below
in order to prevent forward clutch slip while providing maximum engine
protection and optimum piston ring break-in. All the oils listed are
available in both 10-40 and 20-50 viscosities. We use Castrol Grand Prix
20-50 4-Stroke Motorcycle Oil.
Castrol Grand Prix 4 Stroke Motorcycle Oil (available in 1 litre cans in
Canada)
Shell Advance SX4 Motorcycle Oil (available in 1 litre cans in Canada)
Valvoline 4-Stroke Motorcycle Oil (not sold in Canada)
Belray EXL Motorcycle Oil (comes in US quarts only - not available in
full -size 1 litre cans in Canada)
Pennzoil Motorcycle Oil (comes in US quarts only - not available in
full -size 1 litre cans in Canada)
Quaker State 4-Cycle Motorcycle Oil (comes in US quarts only - not available
in full-size 1 litre cans in Canada)
Notes: Never use ANY oil additives. Do not switch brands. Do not overfill.
So, YMMV.
