But to put a straight weight oil (meaning non-detergent) into an engine that requires a multi-viscosity oil is asking for trouble. Today's engines aren't like the old Briggs and Stratton engines of yesteryear. The tolerances are so much tighter and you need that ultra refined oil that gets into these clearances and stays there. My father used non detergent oil over the years seemed to work fine for him. I don't know if he was putting it fully or just mixing it with the other like a half and half. 1

TBG 150 Posted July 6, 2024 Posted July 6, 2024 These dumb fuck TikTok mechanics don't know oil from water. Just wet behind the ears kids that want their 15 minutes of fame. I have 2 EcoBoost powered vehicles. One in which was the first EcoBoost in production and is 13 years old. The other is 7 years old and, (knock on wood) both are awesome smooth running trouble free vehicles. The oldest one eats Hemi's through the intake and shits them out through the exhaust. I'll take my Fords over any of the GM junk produced over the last 20 years. The rest of you can buy an EV. 1
