I switched my Jubilee to synthetic because when it sits for a few days, the spin on oil filter drains back. I even took the filter off to prove it. So I have a dry start. It takes about 10 seconds to build oil pressure. My hope is that synthetic gives me more protection on a dry start. I did this 2 years ago. No side effects. My engine was rebuilt 200 hrs ago. It uses no oil, no smoke, no leaks. I watch for sales and buy synthetic for around $3 qt.

In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
