<< Believe it or not, I switched from Syntec to Valvoline Semi-synthetic

Kuk Kuk Kuk Kuk Kuk you can not Kut Korners when your squeeking the kinda
power your getting. I used Valvoline for a short time while Castrol was
unavailable in our area. I had about 20,000 miles and went to tune up and
adjust valves. Everything was coated with a wax like coating (posssibly
parafin?) I felt Oh Oh what do the passages look like? I got it out and went
to Pennzoil until I could get Castrol again. After putting in Pennzoil it
started using a quart in about 1500 down from 3000 but the next tune up the
engine was a lot cleaner and less waxed up.. Bye Bye Valvoline..
