Everybody's heard this story; an SE-R lover buys a vintage Classic
from a little old lady half-way across the country. The car's cherry,
moderate miles, and he gets a great deal. Little old lady didn't use
synthetic oil, though, and SE-R lover says, "Screw that. Mobil-1 from
here on out..." In no time at all, SE-R lover finds himself on the
side of the road with catastrophic oil starvation; . Everybody's
heard the counter-story, too, from a guy who's "new" SE-R has twice
the miles, same service history, but survived the dino-to-synthetic
switch without a hiccup.
Where do the flakes of sludge originate? If I take the cam oilers off
of my 190kMi motor, bathe them in some super-carcinogenic cleaner, and
put them back in, am I out of the woods? Or does the sludge come from
deeper in the head or block? Not knowing much about SR20 anatomy, I
don't even know where to start...
