[Healeys] Oil Changes

Not necessarily unnecessarily but, if you must have you car smog tested, oil
will in fairly short order "blend" with hydrocarbons and other by products
of combustion and heat and contaminants. So all of that stuff is continually
re-circulated and adds to the tailpipe readings. So, "fresher" oil will get
a sometimes marginal car through a smog test and will enhance the life of
bearings and friction surfaces.
 Since Healeys are most exempt from testing, never mind.

It's so much fun to know that the old chestnuts never die, new owners come 
along every year to ask them again. Makes us oldsters feel wanted. 
Interestingly, it always takes us the same amount of time to work up to the
right 
complete answer.


Let's see, that should take care of this topic until fall 2012. Unless 
someone wants to argue this point unnecessarily.
