[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 835941, member: 52972"] blksn8k, I disagree since oils are categorized by their API service rateing and all oils API certified for use in modern gasoline engines are bacward compatible to olderengines. There was nothing special in the oils when solid lifters were common, and the newer oils are more than up to the task for older engines.. That is not to say that there may be some rare engine that has some special lubrication requirements, but solid lifters (flat tappets) is not an issue for modern oils be they dino or synthetic. ...Richard [/QUOTE]
