They essentially said that most oil is good and there is little difference among the brands, and also additives do little or nothing; everything we need is already in the oil.

I THINK I'M GOING TO GO WITH ROTELLA AND COMP CAMS OIL ADDITIVE PART #159 UNTIL I BITE THE BULLET FOR ROLLER LIFTERS. OGS41 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] SIMSBURY, Connecticutt
