[AT] oil

[oldiron62 at gmail.com]

  You can get ND 30 w oil at Walmart if you want to pay the price. I get 
mine at either Freds or Dollar store
$1.50 at either place per quart. And what I use it for is making saw bar oil 
by mixing 4 qts in with 1 walmart stp for the sticky. Use it in the Super C 
hyd system mixed with ATF, also use it in the M hyd belly pump same way. 
that was when it was $1.00 a qt. And im about out and hate to buy 2 for the 
price of 3, any engine oil will work in the old hyd systems so I need to 
find another source ?
All I use for engine oil (all gassers) is HD 30 walmart brand and yes it is 
detergent oil. I forgot the rating specs on it but never had any type 
problems with it, and sometimes they get run hard all day long. It hurt my 
feelings to fill the 560 up with gas. Then change oil & filter same time. 
Those 6 cyl engines really like gas and oil the oil stays the same but the 
gas goes pretty quick.
