I refuse to use nulon ,but what would I know .I am only a dumb ass glazier .just wanted something that stands up to some punishment ps I used to run 10w-40 but changed to thicker oil to get more oil pressure when hot (I gained 8 psi just by changing brand and viscosity ) also running a fibreglassfilled oil filter which have only half the resistance to a standard paper one (Baldwin american made and rated one of the best ) Edited 04/09/14 09:02 AM by gunna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
