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. </span></p></div><div><p class="ydpa2532d9yiv9680952832MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ydpa2532d9yiv9680952832MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:black;">John in Ferndale<br><br></span></p><div><p class="ydpa2532d9yiv9680952832MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:black;">-----Original Message-----<br>From: John Hall <jtchall@nc.rr.com><br>To: Antique tractor email discussion group <at@lists.antique-tractor.com><br>Sent: Sat, Aug 15, 2020 9:57 am<br>Subject: [AT] Engine oil</span></p><div><p class="ydpa2532d9yiv9680952832MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:black;">What this group needs (in my opinion) is a good farm equipment discussion.</span></p></div><div><p class="ydpa2532d9yiv9680952832MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:black;">Engine Oil--but wait, this isn't your ordinary oil discussion!!!
