Engine Oil Discussion

ACME SS said

I find it very rude to go off on people who are trying to help the OP with their question. This forum was not created for name calling and foul language. I suppose you would call me a liar if I told you I've been involved in operating a piece of equipment that puts out 938,715 hp and is still running on it's original oil since 1958? Oh, its mineral based oil as well.

Don’t post bad information and then act like a jackass when you get called out on it and it won’t happen.

Are you going to make the claim that mineral oils are better in ANY way than synthetic oils other than cost? If you do, you’ll be wrong too.

You do realize that OIL seals the rings don’t you? So an oil burner may reduce (even significantly in some cases) oil consumption with a QUALITY synthetic oil.

But none of the cheap *** old bastards on here are willing to even consider that idea.

That’s THE issue. It’s had to have an “exchange of ideas” when some of the guys on this forum aren’t capable of doing it all based on their ignorance and stiff necked bull headedness.

I’ll say it again, and this includes old engines, and even some oil users.

Synthetic oils win hands down in every aspect of lubrication. Not even close. It only loses in INITIAL expense.

To argue this is plain asshattery.
