Worthwhile article on motor oil...

[Gunslinger]

There's an article of great interest regarding modern motor oils and additive packages (a big controversy), plus the advantages and disadvantages of synthetic oils, in the August 2008 issue of Corvette Fever.

I'm not vouching for the accuracy of the article, but it does make for good reading and provokes some serious thought about what we put in our cars...particularly older engines with flat tappet lifters. It's also about more than the lifters and cams...problems with main bearings as well that have been cropping up.

It's not posted on their website, so anyone interested in reading it will have to spring for the magazine or find someone with a copy.
