Re: new engine using oil
Not with the oil used in the Model A. The carbon in the oil from combustion combines the the carbon used in the dye on the sock allowing better adherence
to the sock and filtering of the carbon allowing cleaner oil to drip back into the engine. A green sock will just get dirty.

Re: new engine using oil
The only reason is I brought that issue up is because even service techs (and I use that term loosely) contradict themselves with this issue. The tech at the Dodge dealership was telling me that I should of left dino oil in my Challenger for about 5,000 miles so the rings could seat in.
I walked him over to the Dodge Challenger SRT's they had on the lot and told him that these cars come factory filled with synthetic so he better get them over to the service bays immediatley and get all their synthetic oil out. I just smiled at him and said good bye. The only reason I don't run synthetic oils in my old cars is that I have been told by engine builders is that it could leak out of areas with older style gaskets such as timing covers, oil pans, side covers and the such. I change my oils regularly so I didn't consider doing it. Maybe that is just another wives tale also. |

Re: new engine using oil
Synthetic oils, according to a Shell Oil engineer I talked to, tend to shrink oil seals slightly. Using Shell synthetic oil in my 1949 airplane, the engine weeped oil everywhere. Going back to pure petroleum base oil I now have a dry engine.
