[DeTomaso] Oil, re-hash

[adin at frontier.net]

thanks Asa.

As I told Asa, i think that list was old info - but reasonbly  
accurate.  I would look for the lastest/greatest reports.  I have a  
stash of oil that I verified as ok and will use that up.

Some comments on this theory, please?   a flat tappet motor with lots  
of miles should be ok w/ new oils. (I'm thinking the cam/lifters would  
be well run in) TRUE OR FALSE????????

thanks,
