        I am using Mobil-1 in my  Boston Bob engine since the beginning or
just after break-in.  15w50 or  5w50 whichever you can get.  I just bought a
case of 5 liter jugs at  Canadian Tire a couple weeks ago when it was on sale !

>>>>>On a related note, I've been running dino 20/50 in  my 2.1 BB motor
since it arrived in June.  Should I be using  synthetic, or is it too
late?  And if so whats the proper  weight?<<<<<<
