LOL Doug! I have heard all those arguments too.
Just pick the ones that make the most sense to you and go with it...Jeeze, I
wish there was still Conoco brand oil. I put it to the severe test once when I
started up Dads tractor and drove it over to the neighbor's. I couldn't
understand why he was so upset when he drove like a wild man to head me
off. He had drained all the oil and I didn't notice. Never harmed
the tractor at all , and it was used for MANY years after
that..............................MO

Subject: Oil Wars
I've been involved in way to many oil wars in the last few years.
Most start on the Harley boards, but the old car version gets even more
intense in some "places". Bottom line on the Harley's (new
engines) is quality oil changed enough to keep it clean. I'm good with
that, have my own choices and intervals and they work and I'm good with
it.
Old cars is a bit different. Had Mobil 10-30 Special
in the 63 for years(30), untill that stuff changed and lost the zinc.
Went to 10-40 Valvoline Racing 'cause it has the zinc we need. Now I
find out the 10-40 will burn down the engine and melt my fenders. But
20-50 Diesel is alright,, ( I never was on that bandwagon), and 20 -50
synthetic is great even though the other multi vis oils are from the
devil...... along with the fact that it will leak out of every gasket
and maybe even the pours of the castings. And of course the ZDDP
additive doesn't mix with the oil either, so now I have to come up with new
oil before spring. Crap. Why doesn't somebody make oil
named "Old Damn Car Oil" and take the heat off ???? Seriously,
just about all the arguments make sense in one way or another. My old
engine WILL smoke on start up for awhile after the winter storage. Is
there actually a Dyno (non synthetic) oil in a straight weight that has the
zinc out there yet ? Are the multi vis oils really that bad ?
Guess a 30 weight with zinc would get my
money. Doug '63 Sport Fury ragtop
