In general they do not burn well ------ and leave a lot of ASH in combustion
chamber and Exhaust.


  Granted it's an assumption on my part but I always figured there was 
MUCH less ash and carbon with synthetic oil.  As you go up in quiality 
of dino oil, you get much less ambering, coking, and so on.  I know a 
guy who used synthetic to clean up an engine that was burning a lot of 
oil.  Apparently it was able to free up the rings without adding to the 
problem until the rings were free.  Then he switched back, no big oil 
consumption.

> One reason old Rabbits take off --like berserk is lots of diesel in lube.


  Don't think I've ever seen a diesel with diluted oil.  You'll burn a hole 
in the 
piston before you dilute the oil too much.  Unless you're running with a 
near zero compression cylinder.  Still not likely to dilute like a gasser 
with a dead plug.

  Scuse me but that's one of the dumbest things I've heard recommended 
here.  Really cheap dino will crap up a gas engine nearly as well as 
corn syrup would.  Good way to destroy a diesel.  If you refer to using 
the cheapest diesel grade oil, then that's not really cheap dino.  It's still 

some of the best dino oil you can buy.
  I tore down a Cadillac that used cheap oil, changed regularly.  There were 
SHEETS of carbon in that engine.

  I'll open my mouth again here.  I've never seen him push nor prod his oil.  

He's reffered to it, and probably mentioned it less than I have!  So, it's in 

his sig. Big deal.  That's part of his description of him and most of us 
probably don't read the sigs regularly. roger touts his site regularly, he 
sells products there,  and I think we all appreciate it.  :)

  Hmmm, I signed up for one type of their dealership/distributorship/user 
and there's no fine print, no minimums, no maximums no strings.  I just 
get a good price when I need it, either from the local dealer or drop 
shipped.
I don't even get updates on products nearly as often as I thought and would 
like.
