A reply from the Archoil website on the subject of your question. While your post was not responded to several years ago your subject got my attention since I am rebuilding a failed engine on a 1948 Model B Allis Chalmers farm tractor. It like some other tractors of the era only had a 15%...

Originally Posted By: SR1919 GaleHawkins, any thoughts about Archoil AR9200 and AR9300? SR1919 I have not worked with the AR9200 or AR9300 but have received our 5th gallon jug of Archoil AR9100. I am doing a full car use test (2010 Subaru Forester 2.5X with 105K miles as of Aug 2017) of...
