1PT RISLONE it's Good for your valves

1PT STP, MOTOR HONEY, SLICK 50, LUCAS OIL TREATMENT OR SNAKE OIL OF CHOICE. Cuz there is one born every minute!

 

This 5 and one half quart cocktail is for refill including oil filter change.  Feel free to add any container leftovers to your gas tank. Combine thoroughly before introducing to engine.

This formula has been shown to be effective by OWT testing labs, and RJ Cobb associats.

I was told to stay away from diesel oil because it's made for low rpm engines... Don't know if it matters and I don't use it in my cars....

I have worked for the two largest nationwide homeowner/construction equipment rental companies in the US.

 

Both ran the same diesel spec-ed motor oil in everything.

 

From the cars/trucks/lawnmowers/ D-10 dozers/ delivery lowboy diesel trucks/service trucks. 

 

10-40wt oil for all.

 

Where is the problem?

 

As often said before -to each his own.

We have low-rpm engines........   ?

 

Shell's Rotella T4 15W-40 is a popular (diesel) oil for many non-diesel applications. I'm probably going to go that direction at next oil change.

After a rebuild of a 56 p28 230, I have 45k plus on it using 15 40 diesel oil.  Mostly the all fleet brand from tractor supply.last two I had rotella put in because I had a shop do it instead of dyi.  No zinc, no additives change interval is around 5 k. Same oil pressure today as fresh.  I believe next change will include the 5th filter element.
