I know a thread about oils can cause a lot of debate so I figured I would toss a bit of fuel on the fires. Actually could have posted this in the Joke Of The Day thread as it borders on the humorous.
I was looking around for information on my old 1947 Farmall BN and got lucky and found a site that had original owners manual in PDF format as a free download. Skimming through the manual I found a very informative bit of information on the best oil to use in the engine: I like along with all the scientific qualities that the included that last sentence saying that the oil should not eat away the metal parts of the engine. Who would have given that a thought if the factory had not included that specification?
I mean I don't think Cat has seen fit to include that detail in their pages long bulletin on oils! Don't they care about our engines being eaten away?
