Hey, I've checked other SRT forums and there really ARE people like that out there...[sm=smiley3.gif]

 

Carburated engines only have problems with gas in the oil if they set for long periods of time(a couple months or more) or are improperly carburated(too large of a carburator or too big of an accelerator pump on it). They don't just dump the gas straight into the cylinder, between the squirters and the intake manifold it does get atomized before entering the cylinders. You can change the oil every 5,000-6,000 miles in any car with any type/brand of oil, however the manufacturer is responsible for it for 7/70,000 and they're gonna want it changed all the time, for them it's cheap insurance.

I never understood how bunnies and eggs were brought together for Easter.[sm=smiley24.gif][sm=smiley36.gif]

 

Yeah, I asked my mom about that as a kid...40 years later, I'm still waiting for an answer!!

 

I could be wrong, but as a fertility symbol bringing a rebirth symbol? The early Church worked hard to roll as many of the old pagan belief systems into it's own things. Halloween, for example. became All Saints Eve.

 

Easter does in fact "borrow" several things from pagan beliefs, probably those two items included. They took a "spring festival" and made it "Easter"...[sm=smiley5.gif]

 

i don't really care where the "ritual" came from so long the easter bunny has a case of mobil 1 10w-30 in my easter basket!

 

Actually, a long time ago, Mopar did have a rabbit as a "symbol", kinda like that bunny for the batteries....I used to have a decal of it...[sm=smiley4.gif]

 

Just to set the record straight, I will say I was wrong. Any reputable(sic) oil company will still tell you to follow the manufactuers oil change schedule. The oil company has no idea what the oil is going in or how it is going to be used. Yes, mobil 1 and other synthetics can last longer, but the engine was never tested with synthetic. My vw was and that was probably why the 10000 mi intervals. So, yes stick to the maintanence schedule...personally I would not be scared to run longer intervals, but if the oil company doen't condone it, neither should anybody else.
As far as carberated cars, I am talking about 40+ year old cars. They came with flat rings which sat lower down on the pistion, with newer cars and the advant of tappered rings that sit very close to the top of the pistion, there is a much tighter seal. As carb cars wear they don't seal as they did and don't use all of the gas, it gets "stuck" in the area between the rings and the top of the piston, which is greater on older cars. As the rings wear they can't adjust like tappered rings and will let gas get by, and thus contaminate the oil. And as far a well tuned, going from different altitudes,ect can have an effect, so unless your constantly tuning a carb car you will be running it at some time "out of tune." I know this is not going to solve anything, but it will give people something to think about...PEACE

 

Dude, you weren't wrong, you were misinformed. We are ALL victims of the same thing all too often...

I still have an unresolved issue with Amsoil regarding their oil change intervals for turbocharged cars...the bottles of oil say one thing, the literature they print says another.
No answer as of yet, it's been 2 weeks...

 

use redline, thats what I have decided to go with, it's used in a lot of race applications.
