Re: Muscle car oil study.

Well.. I had a very bad experience with the Rotella 15w-40 T4. It's never going in any of my engines EVER. Only used it for one season. Minimal driving on Vintage cruises. The oil had turned into the equivalent of Bunker C oil from the Exxon Valdez. Literally had turned into a slimey molasses type c...

Not missing my 20+ years of commuting to downtown Vancouver one little bit. Retirement is good.

Re: Muscle car oil study.

My Chevy Hill Climb engine cost me $12,000 in 2003. This engine would cost me $8 to 10 K CDN . in today's money. Keith knows how hard I run my engines and what parts are in them. I don't mind the extra $$S for the extra protection that Synthetics provide. And I do run this engine at Track days. Too ...

Re: Muscle car oil study.

I take back all the bad words I said about Driven. Oil. I finally got into pulling the Camshaft today and took a REAL hard look at things. The Rocker arms were starting to fatigue flake... but that was probably because this dumb ass hadn't adjusted the Valve clearance in 20,000 Miles!! Yes I'm a dum...

Re: Muscle car oil study.

One thing you can do if you want the advantages of Synthetic over mineral and experience leaks. Use one liter of Dino oil during an oil change. That's enough to keep the seals pliable while offering the advantages of a Synthetic.

Re: Muscle car oil study.

I've used various synthetics since the early 80's. Mainly Amsoil in my Chebies and Rotella T6 or Motul in my Audi. Audi has 270,000 km on it. No leaks and engine is like new. Last year took a 3,000 mile round trip to California. Co-driver had a lead foot. Always running around 90mph on Freeways. Use...

Re: All Japanese Classic Aug.25/19 Waterfront Park

Oh , I applied fresh Cam break in Lube. And primed the oiling system with a drill and priming shaft for a good five minutes, AFTER I saw oil pressure on the gauge. This should not have happened. Obviously the oil could not handle a bit of Fuel dilution... that occurred when I loaded the wrong tune. ...
