Re: Automotive myths
^^ That's because of using the Quaker State all that time,I bet. I did the opposite because I was on a road trip to Arizona. Went to a Quik-Lube for a fresh change for the return trip and they used Quaker State. I really didn't like that,but figured any fresh oil is better than the oil that brought me cross-country and through the mountains. By the time I got back my oil pressure was significantly lower from then on. I had been running Castrol GTX. I don't know about now,but in '89 Quaker State was parafin based crap after formulations changed some years prior. I actually stood by Quaker State in my first vehicles in the early-70s,till they changed it.
Hey Slomotion,I guess that counts my vehicles out. My newest is a '92 diesel and everything runs when I'm on glow plugs prior to and during cranking. I can hear the heater fan slow when I forget and leave it on. just an old habit now
