Which Oil?

Postby ephesiangts » Tue Nov 29, 2011 12:43 pm

I searched and couldnt find it,

But what oil are people using?

I have a recommended oil by MSR, however its contrary to what others believe.
I trust MSR over everyone but its planted a seed of doubt.
Just thought Id see what people use.

MSR said Delvac no doubt.
no issues with that. Diesel oils keep things squeaky clean.

personally i like Magnatec, it's readily available, cheap when on sale (kmart, bursons, repco, etc)
and it's high in detergents, keep your engine clean.

oil that doesn;t go black quickly isn;t cleaning your engine

Isn’t the darken of oil also related to the breaking down/burning of mineral or additives??
Not a soobi anymore, but still slightly dirty
