This may be of some interest'; especially the bits on changing types of oil, its not as boring as it may first appear.

Cheap for me in my tired engine, as it does drip a bit, and burns a bit

The recon currently gets ??? as its still under warrenty, and the garage is changing the oil. Shall ask what it is whenit goes in for its final service.
