Newbies are not foolish, (sorry, my stupidity for ever saying so)
Questions are not foolish,
The Endless Oil War, now that might be foolish
(but its fun, and marginally entertaining and educational all at the same time)
Fact is, you NEVER change a guy's mind simply by telling him something just once.
Letting him express his beliefs and
then letting him have time to change them (for what he considers sufficient reasons) now that can change a guy's mind some of the time.
So far most of those involved in these wars have made intelligent decisions based on facts presented during the what, ?12 fold? endless oil war.
Here's a fact for Bill and Retread, Amisol isn't bad oil at all (and we know what's in it, too). It is just too too expensive for what you get.
Klotz is still a big unknown as their base oil "Estorlin" is a completely undefined registered trade mark, not a description of an actual oil base.
Klotz's claim to be made completely of group 5 oil is likely bogus too, as esters do not make up a complete base oil at all (unless you would want one that dissolved all the rubber in your engine over the first oil change that is).
Last real fact for this latest issue of the oil war -- Savage engines will keep on running on any form of oil much better than not having oil at all --
running out of oil is what kills more Savages than any thing else.
Preventing "running out of oil" on longer trips is VERY important, so carry some with you and check it frequently while on your trip.
All Savages with over 15-20,000 on the clock will likely use some oil. The "Suzuki oil check method" puts you with very little reserve oil carried in your sump, so please do keep a close check on it.
The "List oil check method" is superior to the "Suzuki oil check method", but that's another brand of oil war entirely ....
