Help, you guyz,
I just hit about five auto-parts stores (including, but not
limited to, Parts America and Advance) looking for
Valvoline MTL. No dice! I can find:
Unilube Synthetic (75W90)
Halvoline Hypoid oil (75W90)
Valvoline Hypoind oil (75W90 and 85W140)
Coastal Hypoid oil (various viscocities)
Do y'all think the Unilube is ok? Or am I better off
with the non-synthetic Valvoline?
Honestly, how important is Valvoline Synthetic (or Red Line,
or Whatever) in a '79 Datsun 5-speed in a '72 MG Midget
that will likely stay in the immediate vicinity, not go
over 55-60 MPH, and be driven under non-severe conditions?
I mean, I'm no longer heal-toeing my way thru the chicane at Thomson
Motor Speedway or Limerock. This is a cheap, fun, pleasure
car after all. What's the synthetic stuff gonna buy me that
the hypoid gear lube I use in my garden tiller won't do as well?
If I really do need it, I'll extend my search via telephone.
But what's more important: Synthetic? 90W viscosity? Brand
name like Valvoline?
It's Cocktail Time. I'm done thinking about this for today.
Later,
chuck
