I don't understand.....If I'll believe what, that your running an engine with 3in1 oil in it.....I learned long ago to never say never. If in fact you are running it that way and it is surviving then NO,I can't explain it but who knows. Heck patent the idea and sell it to the new equipment makers so their new engines can last a million miles/hours plus. As far as the older iron being made better, I don't think it's made better so much as it's made to be more tollerant of adverse conditions which we all know are present in great numbers in the field. The newer stuff is being made with such tight tollerances that, yes it might run good when it's running, but the breakdowns are more catastrophic than they otherwise might be. As far as believing the man selling the oil, you've totally misunderstood my whole position here. I never said I "believed the man selling the oil". In fact I look at EVERY salesman with a degree of suspicion because they profit from their products, the very reason, as you've read, I don't sell it. In fact look at the post I made awhile ago to the guy looking to buy one of their synthetics, where I all but tell him to queston wether the salesman is selling him what he needs or what's gonna make him (the salesman) the most money. When I got turned on to LE I was trying to find a better product for the guy who was paying for a turbo every year, my time to put it on, and the downtime for that machine (drilling and blasting is high dollar work).. and doing it for 3 machines. I talked to our customer that had used it for nearly 40 years and saw firsthand the experience he had had with it and formed my own opinion from there. What I've been saying all along is I don't believe the salesman, I believe the product. Heck, I'll give you Dan's (our reps) number, call him and ask him wether he sold me the oil or wether the oil sold itself. He'll tell you I'm a hard headed SOB when it comes to proving what you say about any product, heck about most things for that matter. In fact he didn't call on me initially, I called him and asked him to come out and talk to me. After he and I talked I told my customer about the oil he set up his own meeting and Dan went to see him. Based on what I told the customer and his conversation with Dan he formed his own opinion and bought a little bit of the oil to try. Then and only then, based on his own expeerience, he started buying in bulk for all of his machines and is still buying it.--------- A slick salesman can sell a sucker anything, and a good looking woman can sell a man just about anything unless he's hard headed like I am, but a good product sells itself to a knowledgable consumer by providing results. That's all I can tell you....

Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
