I have a vintage 50s car with a V8 engine.
I have for the past 20 years added a half litre of tranny oil to the crankcase at every oil change. Good idea or bad? I am not alone as I know many vintage car owners that do the same.
The reasoning is that tranny oil is a excellant lubricant. Not had a engine problem and it runs smoothly and quietly. Of course I do not use tranny oil in my 2005 car as engines today are a bit different than the V8 of 50 years ago. But maybe tranny oil in new cars would not be a bad idea? Thoughts. Testing required?
