Synthetic Oil Improvement in /6

Funny you bring up Ford engines. I have seen more sludged up Ford engines than any other make, bar NONE. I don't know what it is about them. I think it's something about how they radiate heat maybe. No clue. I'll tell you something else Ford engines are really bad about. Valve seals hardening and breaking apart and falling into the oil pan getting sucked up into the oil pump and snapping the oil pump shaft while the engine humms away. Seen it happen a LOT in my younger years as a mechanic. Really neato how each make has their weak points. They all do.

I did! That was impressive!

I did have the cover off of my engine and there was baaaad sludge and I posted a coupla pix 5-6 weeks back; I used Rotella for the dispersants to get more out. I am sure I still have plenty inside. My old 351C came from the boneyard and the Torino we pulled it from had Quaker State stickers all under the hood; that was back when QS still used PA crudes as a base. It was not nearly as bad as Pishta's, but it was on its way.....

Reminds me of a guy I was in the Navy with; a good ole Cajun' for LA. We were chatting about cars one day and he mentioned that his Pinto with 31k miles was not running too well. I aksed when he last changed oil and he got a quizzical look on his face and said "Change the oil?". It was like molasses when I went to change it for him..... he was a character but not a mechanic....
