Hey All,

Well, my engine has about 4K on it, and always leaked a little ( I may
have not tightened the oil pressure sender in all the way - I need to
check that...). I just (last week) switched to 15W-50 Mobile 1 and it
*seems* to be a bit worse, but it may be that the synth is more
"clingy" and therefore drips onto the ground less. I could be wrong...

I figure this is a small price to pay (at $5 a quart!!??) to keep my
air-cooled engine alive that much longer.   ...JMM
