What type oil would be the best? I mean, sj,sh the type not the brand or weight. I've been using yamalube 20w50, what other oils are about the same or better. I've read every thing you have written about brands and weights but have not seen anything written on application. Thanks CALVIN
Kraig, Where I live it is hot as well 90-100 degrees every day and I use Silkolene 15-40 which is the oil of choice around here and it works great .A quart/1000 mi. sounds like a lot to me I would try a 20-50 oil and see what happens.

My Max is giving me fits. I switched to 20W50 Kendoll oil recomended by Dale Walker(I know, I know). The problem I am having is that my Max is drinking about a quart of oil about every 1000 miles. There is no oil leaks and no smoke in the exhaust. Mr Max starts right up runs fine, but every time I rump on the throttle, that red light comes on. I check the view window, and she is another 1/2 quart low!!!! HELP!!!! What is the weight of Moble1 I should be using for day temps of aroune 95+ degree. I have left my owners manuel in El Paso so I have no idea what weight to buy. Also do you think this will cure the oil consumption problem if I go back to Moble1? > > Thanks for the help. > Kraig > VMOA 1328 > The "P-51" Long Range Max > (915)252-6667 > ............................................. > To unsubscribe go to http://www.sayegh.org/unsubscribe.htm > ............................................. > .............................................
