Hey Tech; that's real close to how I do my engines too! And I also do not put any additives in my engine oil. I had a friend that used engine additives with every oil change on his ford 400 modified. I did a engine rebuild for him on that motor,what a mess! Now I don't know if he was not changing his oil or it was the additive, this is no B.S. I had to pull the push rods out with visegrips. The engine had not been sitting at all either,He had drivin it every day to work and pulled it up to where I pulled the engine out of it, to rebuild it! I could not even turn or spin the push rods by hand. It looked like some one had poured honey in this thing and then it had gotten hard, and there was a ton of build up in it too. I really don't see how the thing was even running, It was that bad. So I don't use additives, and I change my oil evey 3,000 miles. I also found out when I had my VW bug that alot of engine oils will foam up, there is only two that I've used that don't. Mobile 1 is one of them and castrol is the other, Castrol is what I use in all my daily drivers and I can afford it. thanks for your Input.
