Do you think the early detergent oils were reasonably effective? Keep in mind the new for 1955 popular Chevy V8 did not have an oil filter, it was an optional bypass filter. I am involved in vintage British bikes, only a very small number had paper oil filters. Many used detergent oil. Most now...

History, as in when detergent oil was what was normally sold and used. I'm old enough to remember an uncle saying he only used non detergent oil in his new 66 Dodge for whatever reasons..Would early detergent oils be multi grade only? Thanks

I have heard it said that a Jaso bike oil lacks certain friction modifiers....Ok... but are there any addtives put into it to to enhance clutch action? And does the oil change with use so it becomes less friendly to the clutch?

I just put the redline in my 2002 Honda CRV...All was fine then after a 15 mile ride, a two hour shutdown, then a restart, the engine briefly refused to accept commands from the accelerator pedal..It just continued to idle...Then less than a minute, the problem cleared and never returned..Very...
