[6pack] Sump bolts, pan?

[Bob]

I was always a Castrol user. TR3 and TR250 years ago and all cars since.
Last fall I acquired a very original (Oct '70) 71 TR6. I was going to drop
the pan because I had an oil drip and the pan was wet with oil. The oil in
the car was crystal clear but seemed thin. I could not determine what oil
had been used prior. This was last fall when the first ZDDP emails were
flying around. I cleaned the charcoal filter and I put Rotella T 15W-40 oil
in and figured I'd enjoy the car a little. Anyway, car is not dripping oil
anymore, I'll drop the pan, check for sludge and change the gasket another
time..............
Regards,
Bob
