RE: the problem with single viscosity oil
By Allan - 10/24/2002 10:21:42 AM; IP 12.13.226.18
I have been under the impression that single viscosity oils don't have as much detergent in them so they tend to leave more deposits in the engine. This old engine was pretty sludged up when I got it. Since I've had it I've cleaned out the pan, valve covers, and timing chain cover, but I'm pretty sure the oil passages in the block are restricted with the same type of sludge I scraped out already.
This thread, so far...
