GlennCraven Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hello, dino! Good to see you join. I'll let the other fellas tell you about motor oil, but I wanted to say "hi" and suggest you might search the archives, or check the thread "oil modifications" below. I haven't looked at it yet, but it might have some answers for you. Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
