"Oils ain't oils"
Cheapo oil is exactly that...good base stock
without benefit of the major mfgr's additive
packages which make it "better" in preventing formation of acids, foaming,
varnish/deposits, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah.
While the tolerences within our older engines were spec'd with petroleum
based oils in mind...viscosity as much
if not moreso, as film strength being in mind as a "boundary" between parts
................a quart of
synthetic within 3 of petroleum can only be a good thing in terms of upgrad
ing the mix by "reinforcing" film strength while adding "slipperiness" to t
he whole.
I HAVE SPOKEN
