I have several vehicles that get stored for the winter now (Dec to April). I had very bad luck with early Mobile 1 (back in 80s) where in a solid lifter vehicles the drain back was so bad that after 6 months, I had bad camshaft wear. The vehicle sat for 2-4 weeks at a time, 2-3X for the 6 months period. Sounded like dry starts everytime after sitting. Recently other folks tell me that they seem see that with synthetics still.
I did some searches in the forums and I see drain back comparisions (ad Hoc - ie. no test data) on differences between synthetics, but how about other dino products ? vs synthetics etc..
Is there any ASTM test for this ? And corrosion protection after some given time ?
Looks like a great group here. Thanks
