Re: alfa-digest V9 #328.........RE:164 S Oil Consumption

["g2 g2" <g2turbo@domain.elided>]

In response to the gentleman with the 164S that is trying to determine
the "proper" amount of oil burned in X amount of miles. That i do not
know.  However our 164L used to smoke a bit at startup, and would do a
007 James Bond smoke-screen occasionally at high revs and full load (EGR
issue?), that is until i put in a full synthetic oil -- Amsoil High Perf.
20-50wt. Much better oil pressure when hot, too -- sounds better now. Full
synthetic oil is much more stable and durable at high temps,  and does
not thin out like dinosaur oil does, and flows much better when cold. 
Plus if you're lucky like us you'll pick up some MPG's.  One note about
over the counter  varieties, such as Mobil 1, Pennzoil, etc-- they are
only about, on avg (different ASTM tests) 1/2 as "good" as premium oils.
 Check out www.amsoil.com. They have a great deal where you can buy
wholesale. Cheers,Gary
