BAT appears to use a template. The descriptions all sound the same. It
becomes a bit nauseating. I prefer to look at the photos.
This ad that we were questioning is on craigslist.

I used to be a big believer in castrol oils and DOT4 brake fluid. It is
all that has ever been in my BMW R75. I hope their dino oil is still
ok for 1 to 2 k change intervals. But I no longer trust castrol for
anything.

I did not use the hose clamps. I used the apollo type pex clamps that
you crimp on one side. Think fountain soda hoses. The other type is a
ring that is compressed similar to a hose ferrule.
I did find a cure for the threads. I took everything apart and used
Permatex clear RTV as dope.

Has potential to be a great restoration candidate, if you're careful. Not
sure if the reserve will be met. I would worry about rust in the rockers,
but the car is complete, drives, and has some stunning design touches - as
well as PW.

It would appear, the ad writer doesn't know squat about Mercedes, or it's

Yes. I’m switching my fleet over to Sinopec for synthetic and harvest king for

I found an interesting article on the false advertising claims Mobil made
against Castrol in the 1990s. Mobil claimed that Castrol devalued Syntec by
moving away from a PAO base stock.
Now I'm wondering if the Syntec I tried around 1992-1994 and didn't like was
mostly PAO.
