Subject: Don't discuss politics, religion, thermostats or OIL on an online forum!


Faunsdale, AL
I'm going to do it anyway though!

Why does anyone keep relying on a service bulletin that was released in 1983? I read a lot of what you post Jon and agree mostly, but oils are not the same now as they were in 1983. Machine may be same, I've got plenty here that are that old and older, but the oil formulations and specs have moved on.

I think the low emission oils are a legitimate concern as regards flat tappet cams. Not too hard to find non LE formulations though. I don't have any macn=hinery that new myself!
