Good advice, but I did not mention that most of the oil fills prior to the
Delvac were Mobil 1, so I don't think my oil filter will plug up too
quickly. In addition, I short-changed the Delvac after only about 3500
miles.

Nope. None. None in 66 Ford, 76 plymy, the 380 SL, the 230TE,
tractors made from the 40s to the 60s. You do have to watch out for
