In the 1980s, Slick 50 had Teflon in it... Since then, there have been some with molybdenum disulfide, but it seems that's not a good idea to have around copper/bronze/brass/babbitt bearings. Mitch. > On April 25, 2017 at 5:22 AM Dan--- via Mercedes > wrote: > > >

What was the stuff that was all the rage in the late 70s that had graphite in it? I remember using it in some of my cars at the time. -D Sent from my iPad > On Apr 24, 2017, at 8:45 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > Oops, did some fact checking. Most,

Re: [MBZ] WAS RESTORED ** 1979 - NOW oil issues

Oops, did some fact checking. Most, including M1, were PAO. POE was more expensive. All-Proof was an oddball, using alcohol diester instead of poly-alpha olefins or polyol ester. A lot of Houston city fleet vehicles were destroyed by an off-brand oil using AO base stock produced by All-Proof.

Re: [MBZ] WAS RESTORED ** 1979 - NOW oil issues

There were a couple of types of Synthetic when the whole fad started circa 1975. There were a couple dozen Synthetic motor oils around in the late 1970s, many with names you hadn't heard of before or since. Most, like M1, were POE. I forget what the others (All-Proof?) were made of.

Re: [MBZ] WAS RESTORED ** 1979 - NOW oil issues

Yup and that's been my experience too. Somebody said that early synthetic (like the 1980s) didn't have the seal swelling agents the new stuff has so as crud got cleaned away leaks appeared that never sealed. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Mon, Apr 24, 2017 at 11:47 AM, Randy

Your regimen will also keep the insides clean. I had a 62 220Sb that had only been run on Havoline. It was clean as new inside! Sold me. After that I only used havoline up through the CC days. Then Valvoline Turbo in the Quantum (CD) when CD oel was new. rogerhga--- via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] WAS RESTORED ** 1979 - NOW oil issues

That's what I remember as well. IIRC, it takes 10,000 to 15,000 miles for the Mobil 1 to soften and swell the seals. On Mon, Apr 24, 2017 at 10:51 AM, Dan--- via Mercedes wrote: > I believe that was the case. > > Understand that it doesn't cause or create the leaks - its

Re: [MBZ] WAS RESTORED ** 1979 - NOW oil issues

I believe that was the case. Understand that it doesn't cause or create the leaks - its ability to flow makes it easier to get past what might have been small or marginal leaks with Dino oil. If it causes the seals or gaskets to swell slightLy, the leaks should decrease or stop on their own.
