I agree with ya'll every word. Oxidation is the worst for oil, I wanted to start a thread on a certain synth. that I have talked about several times but never got a response on it.
I mainly wanted to see if anyone else has tried it, I have started my new ridin' lawn mover(which has a catylitic converter on it
) and its on its thirs year now and the oil I used in it went from a lovely purple color to a light shade of brown after one year of use and about 150hrs use, no burning/loss of oil and.....With this oil there is literally no oxidation factor to worry about it attacking all the goods hiding inside the cases.
It would be cool to have a simple oil faq that posted different types and effects that were noticed, like markcb750 said, I have done this in different old cars and you can see the difference, in startup (in the heat and cold) and looking at the stick too, feeling it in between fingers, and clutch feel also. Most oils turn brown or black the first time they are heated up good so it can get confusing.
Party on wayne, party on garth.
