Betreff: Re: [Healeys] On the topic of oils

Von: editorgary@aol.com

I'm wondering if the 17-year-locusts and the topic of What oil?,
subtopic weight, subtopic synthetic, subtopic ZDDP, both seem to crawl
out of the ground at about the same regularity. The topics come up,
they are beat to death with the same old myths and old-wives tales,
and eventually they go back to ground, only to arise again several
years later.
So, Here is the beginning, middle, and end of the gospel.
ZDDP as an additive is only important when an newly rebuild engine
is being broken in.
Synthetic oil is an unnecessary expense.
Oil in old cars should be changed once every year.
Oil in old cars should be in the 20W50 range.
That's all you need to know.
Oh, Pat Quinn is probably right regarding 30 weight non-detergent
oil in Healey transmissions because of their slightly weird design
using a magnet and a coarse screen in the bottom of the drain.
And none of the above applies to cars being raced with rpm routinely
over 4000. You and your mechanics have figured out answers that suit
you, and if your mechanic is older than you are, trust him.
Any other answer is either being promoted by a manufacturer selling
a blend of snake oil, profiteering, and engine oil or someone who
believes everything they find on the internet regardless of source or
age.
That's it; end of story. Don't make me pull out the hundreds of
references supporting this gospel because I won't.
