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. </span></p>
