Just to get a consensus...my changing the filter (oil yes of course) every year is an unnecessary mess then? ________________________________ From: CnC-List <[email protected]> on behalf of Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 1, 2019 1:14:34 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: Tom Buscaglia <[email protected]> Subject: Stus-List engine oil
As an aside, in high school I had a 48 Ford with a flat head V 8. I wanted to treat it good so instead of using regular 30 weight I used a nice detergent 10-30. The detergent cleaned the gunk out of the bearings and engine pretty much fell apart, blowing out so much oil that a could not see out the rear view mirror.

The claim was that it would clean the engine too good and it would start leaking.It's highly recommended for newer cars of course.I would presume the same would be true for marine engines, unless the fact that they're diesels would make a difference???Anyone else ever heard that story and have heard whether it's true or not?RonWild CheriC&C 30-1?STL -------------- next part --------------
