For those of you that mentioned running A/C Delco filters. Any idea what the part # would be for the 496's?

Use water instead...it transfers heat even better than conventional oil dude.

I've been using Mobil 1 15w50 in a full roller motor for 7 seasons with no problems. This fall during the winterization process I filled it with Mobil 1 v-twin.
