It was a 4-stroke, and yes it was a little worn but it worked fine on
Halfords cheap own brand oil for years. As soon as I put supposedly top

The Castrol adverts boast how superior the protection afforded by their oil,
while in real life its patently obviously nothing of the sort!!!
Did you ever stop to think that the new oil had better cleaning
agents, which caused the old engine to crap out? Some old, worn engines
are still running, due to the buildup of crap. You wash that out and it
fails. There used to be warnings on oil cans not to switch to a high
detergent oil if you were running the older, cheaper non detergent types
in an old engine.
My thoughts, also.
Only two things hold the world together... bailing wire and oil tar
;-)
Its too bad that we can't make oil out of Usenet trolls and stuffed
donkeys with keyboards. At least that way they could finally do
something useful for the world.
