Engine oil

Sorry. I didn't write the software (vBulletin Version 3.6.7) for this board but I just wanted to provide you with some friendly advice. Some forum software (like phpBB) does a better job of explaining why it didn't return any results. For example, if you were to search the Fuels Forum for propane, you would get the following error message:

The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: propane.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.

Thank-you. I was puzzled by perceived lack to chat on this subject because just about every subject that has been brought up on this board has been talked about before. I will not forget the board's "rule for searching" next time.

Before you jump on the additive bandwagon, I highly recommend that you read the Corvair Flat Tappet article first:

Thank-you, I will. I was a big fan of STP additive for my MG. For running in very hot weather, it used to keep the oil pressure up.

I will read the article...the more info the better and I have time with the car now on blocks for the winter :)

I was at cantire today and they carry the diesel oil I mentioned early but we have a few high end auto shops within 60 miles of my house so I can do a bit of research.

This has been good and helpful conversation and i hope others (not just me) have benefited from it.

thanks
Ian.
