    What happens to old oil?

    Was told years ago (mid 90's) Most of it was used in ships. Very little was recycled for auto use. It has always been available for autos in the Los Angeles market and was always stated as "Recycled Oil".

    Start up smoke on Firebird

    Try some Auto-Rx. Your valve seals need to be treated or R&R.They are brittle,Auto-Rx will treat them and make them soft so they can seal again.Will also treat all the other seals. Good Luck...

    Mobil factory fill?

    Is there a need for Mobil 1 ? Is it overheating ? Does it have a turbo ? It would be an overkill unless there is a need. Most Stealerships buy in bulk with 55 gallon drums. Ask to see theirs. Mobil One,I don't think so.
