lotsa miles & the Scientifically Treated Petroleum has lotsa zinc. b4 the 62 I only used stp for engine building & the occasional oil hogs. BTW the late 80's 5.0 used low tension rings that were kinda oil hogs from new. ford would re-ring them for you if they consumed more than a quart in 500 miles. they ran good & they ran forever & by the time you had a 100k on them they usually quit using oil. I had a 90 5.0 lx bought new & it never used oil so they must have been redesigned by then, but 88s & 89s were notorious oil users.

I just put a GM crate motor in my chev bucket van & gm recommends 10-30 or 10-40 for their hp motors. I thought 10-40 was antiquated. I guess not. While not a big GM fan, this is a 350 4 bolt, roller cam, all new complete sans water pump & intake for $2050 from jegs. how do they do it? In my old 352 I run 15-40 rotella & a shot of STP with a motorcraft filter.

I thought when the two spectators got killed there would be mention of it, or a least condolences to the family in the beginning of the show, but no. they did however spend half a show on the dead dog. maybe pending litigation, who knows.

don't overlook the obvious, thermostat or lack of one.

I think I'll get me one of those. May relieve some of the stress I'm under.

It's pretty hard to hurt a rental these days (other than a crash). I just lettered 4 2014 chev vans for a customer, all 4 had around 30k & all 4 run & drove perfect.
one thing the rentals don't do is try to hide stuff. they clean them up & that's about it. Dealers are good at hiding stuff like paint work, maintenance & pdr. I bought a 2001 van in 2001 that was a rental & had no problems at all. I'm still running it. I'd go with the 2014

Rainier has there a golden opportunity to make an outstanding tv commercial. Even the bears hate that rice based beer. or maybe he was just smarter than the average bear.

now there 's a deal boys & girls, & it's not on the west coast as usual. If I didn't already have 2 stick setups I'ld be all over this. However I am in central pa, & would gladly be the middleman if somebody up north would want this. NO charge.  & in spite of my name I am trustworthy.
