Default Re: Detergent oil

Hi David,

A. I can imagine perhaps your initially staying up all night reading and re-reading all 28 different replies on recommending 20-50, not 5W-20, 15-40, 10-30, add ZDDP, add MMO, use synthetic, no 40W, Engineer recommendations etc., etc.

B. Just in case you had to take Alka-Seltzer, and/or are beginning to acquire stomach ulcers to decide on oil, help is really just around the corner.

C. Just drive your Model A to your nearest Wal-Mart and tell some young non-Model A guy you just need a damn simple oil change ...... and tell him just like that .... don't leave the damn out ...... he will understand.

D. Wal-Mart has trained, oil changing guys that change oil in millions of cars a year with absolutely no problems ...... nothing at all like all of the burnt up and gummy Model A re-built engines we hear about every week on this Forum

E. Hope this helps anybody in the future to choose a peaceful lubrication selection of modern detergent oil where one has a similar situation of only 100 miles on a rebuilt Model A engine.
