[TR] When to rebuild

As a side comment, oil consumption on my "hauler" (old Buick station wagon, Chevy 350 motor) went up sharply when I tried Mobil 1 in it.  (Someone gave me a case of it, so I had to try it.)  But when I went back to Valvoline full synthetic, the oil consumption went back down.  Valvoline SynPower also reduced consumption in my previous hauler with a Chevy 2.8 V6.

It's not "synthetic" that is the problem IMO, it is "Mobil 1".

Alas, SynPower has never reduced consumption in my Triumphs.  But it hasn't increased it either.
