Can anyone tell me exactly what to look for (ie. the markings on the side of
the jug) when shopping for oil. I know Mobile One is good and works very
well for me, but there is so much I don't know.
What about diesel oil? Can we use it in our engines?
And what about the frequently abused Onan? Originally, we were supposed to
put #30 in there...what is the conventional wisdom to replace 30 weight?
Dick Patterson did a talk on this subject at a rally somewhere, but I can't
find my notes....and if I could, I likely couldn't read that hen scratching
anyway.
Thanks
