Subject:Re: OIL, What do you use?
Date:Wed, 20 Oct 1999 21:19:37 EDT

I use Castol GTX non-synthetic.  I wouldn't use any oil that came from
Pennsylvania stock (Pennsoil, Quakerstate, etc) because it has a parafin base
and causes sludging in the engine.  The oils that come from Texas stock don't
have this problem.
Learned this after talking with several engine rebuilders.
Sorry PA folks :(
Haven't gotten into the synthetic thing yet.  Maybe when I have the box
rebuilt (not far off with over 160k miles on her).

My 2 cents,
Ken Wilford
