I've been running the Mobil 1 0w40. Plan is to get an oil analysis on the Mobil 1 after 3k miles and then vr1 at 3k miles so see if anything comes up. I guess I'll be adding Mobil 1 classic to the list too if i can find it anywhere at a decent price. That's interesting. Hopefully the price...

I bet that thing rips. I'm hoping my glasspacks break in and put out a bit more volume.

I do plan on doing oil analysis. I was considering doing oil analysis on the current oil as well. But not knowing the type or the age it probably wouldn't be that useful. Trying oil analysis on both Mobil 1 and VR1 sounds like a good idea. If that guy never handed me that bottle of additive I...

Hi. I got this 312 ford y block motor a few years ago, I can't remember much of what the guy said to me beside it was recently rebuilt, mostly stock and ran in his truck for awhile before he replaced it with a coyote motor. I finally got around to getting my truck on the road after 30+ years of...
