I don't think anyone suggested non-detergent.
Straight detergent 30w is what everyone is talking about.
Interesting that if a different set of people had answered, they would have said that 30w is obsolete. Just saying, consider the source and make your own decision based on what you believe.
I think the OPE air cooled is different and I use HDEO rated oils. But, I wonder if the improvements in SN make it more closer to SJ in wear protection.....anyone??
Thanks for the reply...I always thought straight 30-HD was a non detergent???
Suppose I better read the label better
Nope, non detergent oils will state on them that they are non detergent. I use either Rotella T6 5W-40 or flavor of the month Synthetic 5W-30. This year it's PP 5W-30
