kennys-kennyb, (Walleyehed during the week)Oil Brand Change

[CharlesW]

Hello:<br />Just wondered if your engine smoothness problem went away with the change back to your original brand of oil?<br />If you posted that info, I missed it.<br /><br />Hopefully this post will be vague enough to not start this discussion all over. <br /> <br />Charles

Hello again:<br />I thought I would bump this once to see if it was missed or ignored. <br />If it stays dormant for another week, I'll delete it.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Charles

obviously i'm not kenny, but i do know that his idle did smooth out after switching from supertech back to J&E oil. i think he was going to try another oil, amsoil or something like that i think.

Catfish is right.....Engine Idle returned to the original, nice, smooth idle I started with, but it took about 18-20 gallons of gas, with most at WOT. I went back to J/E XD-25.<br />I'm now trying Ficht Ram at 50:1, but I've only got about 14hrs since the change-over. As of yet, I can't say I notice any difference in it, so far. The XD-25 is a very Clean oil as far as having no residual running out of exhaust areas, and the Ficht Ram should show the same properties....We'll see.
