60’000 miles on cheap supermarket oil...
#34
I am surprised. In the 1960s with the engine in various states, and using various oils including the very cheapest produced no sludge but did do a lot of long open road running.
In the 1980s used jap imports which had done a lot of traffic running were notorious for goo, and developed the same here with the same use. API SG oil was introduced as the cure.
Maybe instead of exotic oils we should all be considering thermostats. If someone marketed a simple neat in hose fitting could sell well.
Would expect high oil consumption with .010 taper
