I'm wondering if the 17-year-locusts and the topic of What oil?,
subtopic weight, subtopic synthetic, subtopic ZDDP, both seem to
crawl out of the ground at about the same regularity. The topics
come up, they are beat to death with the same old myths and
old-wives tales, and eventually they go back to ground, only to
arise again several years later.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, </div>
<div>Here is the beginning, middle, and end of the gospel.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ZDDP as an additive is only important when an newly rebuild
engine is being broken in.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Synthetic oil is an unnecessary expense.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Oil in old cars should be changed once every year.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Oil in old cars should be in the 20W50 range.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That's all you need to know. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Oh, Pat Quinn is probably right regarding 30 weight
non-detergent oil in Healey transmissions because of their
slightly weird design using a magnet and a coarse screen in the
bottom of the drain.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And none of the above applies to cars being raced with rpm
routinely over 4000. You and your mechanics have figured out
answers that suit you, and if your mechanic is older than you
are, trust him.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any other answer is either being promoted by a manufacturer
selling a blend of snake oil, profiteering, and engine oil or
someone who believes everything they find on the internet
regardless of source or age.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That's it; end of story. Don't make me pull out the hundreds
of references supporting this gospel because I won't.<br>
