You guys put entirely to much time and energy into what oil to use and who's is best. I've never had an engine failure do to oil. The most important thing about oil is you change it. The richer the motor is the more often it needs changed. If you don't have a motor that is set in kill mode and dumping fuel into it to make it live you can make it a season without an oil change. 100 times more important than what brand oil is going in the motor is what oil filter is going to be used. If you collapse a filter your done. And due to the design of some filters they just don't flow any oil and become a huge restriction in the system which usually leads to a collapsed filter, empty wallet and a wife that tells you to get rid of the dumb thing.
Hint: $2/qt 20/50 oil works just as well as $10/qt 20/50 oil in motors that aren't being fuel diluted to stay alive. |
Any thoughts on this particular filter? I usually use Wix but moved up to the HP6 size and this is what I found most easily available. I'm mostly concerned with the media being able to handle the typical moisture found in boats. Also using Brad Penn 10/40 in the ZZ502 motor.

The easiest place for me to tap an oil temp gauge is off the outgoing port of the filter head. Is this still an adequate place to tap in to or have things chilled by then?

Sometimes Oreilly's and Advanced has it cheaper. Still waiting for someone to prove or even think lubrication issues using this. Valvoline VR-1 racing motor oils are recommended for engines burring gasoline and full or partial alcohol fuels in track and street service Use in any car, light truck, van or SUV where API SN is recommended ZDDP additive provides tough anti-wear protection Enhanced with friction modifier to improve horsepower Formulated with enhanced anti-foam system http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41jDJWteQML.jpg |
I think from glancing at these threads periodically that Mobile V Twin has remained a top choice. Is this still the case?
