I remember my Dad used to use Wolfshead oil in our lawnmower.

Any one remember Amalie Oil.
Better than it has to be. The problem is it was just a
smidgen better than bare minimum standards.
My first car was purchased
from my dads boss. He drove 5 miles a day and changed the oil
every 3000 miles. It looked great. I started having problems
so I pulled the oil pan. There must have been 10 lbs of
sludge. I pulled the engine apart and cleaned it up. Put it
back together and drive it several years until I was rear
ended by a pickup truck. I never used Amalie oil again.
That is about the time people
realized how bad Amalie oil was. I still a couple paper cans
of Amalie oil in my shop.

John, list members,
A tangent to this
conversation, something I inherited from my
father... not sure if it is a superstition or
has some validity..??? but I just try to never
change the brand of the oil in my autos and
tractors. I can remember us buying an used
1950 Buick way back when, my Dad asked what
brand of oil was in it, ..Quaker State, and
that was what we used, anyway, too bad that
your Exxon oil became hard to find. Just
curious if any list members also hate to
change brands of oil? It doesn't apply here,
but for sure I have seen leakage and usage in
situations where there was a switch to
synthetic oil.

What
this group needs (in my opinion) is a good
farm equipment discussion.
Engine
Oil--but wait, this isn't your ordinary
oil discussion!!! Long
story
short, I have a fleet of old gas powered
working FARM
equipment--not
talking about lawn equipment. We have
always ran big name
brand
oil. I switched from Exxon Super HDII
about 3-4 years ago because
it
was getting really hard to source. I
switched over to Chevron Dello
400
(both are 30W). The Dello is formulated
for diesels, but supposedly
works
in older gas engines. I now have 2 engines
that drink oil when
being
worked hard. My Farmall M can drop 2-3 qts
in a couple hours of
pulling
a cultimulcher--yet you don't really
notice it smoking. It does
foul
plugs. That work is a very heavy load.
Also I have a 3300 Deere
combine
that will drop a qt or so every truckload
of corn. Now I've only
had
this combine about 8 years and the oil
consumption just started
about
3 years ago--I swear some days it is worse
than others. I really
wonder
if its the oil I'm using. I have on hand
some CaseIH low-ash oil
I
run in lawnmowers--considering putting it
in the combine for this
fall.
Supposedly the same stuff IH has been
selling for 40+ years. The
cost
is about $3-4 more a quart, so an extra
$25 to change oil. For the
record,
the rest of the gas powered fleet doesn't
run hard/long enough
to
notice a problem. The combine is such a
gas hog, can't help but
wonder
if its a fuel issue causing dilution.
What
you guys think, worth a shot?
