[QUOTE="SixPak, post: 15719923, member: 142259"] Back in the 80's-90's when I was turning a wrench for a living, and did a fair amount of engine rebuilds I always filled the crankcase with a non-detergent straight weight oil, usually 30wt. I would start the engine, get it tuned and once it warmed up I shut it off and would drain the oil thru a strainer and look for metal. Then I filled it with whatever the mfr recommended and sent it down the road. These days with tighter tolerances, better fuel management and micro honing of cylinders it is different ball game. But myself, buying a new vehicle every five years whether I need one or not, stop at the first oil change place I see after I take delivery and dump the crankcase. [/QUOTE]
