[FC] mixing oils

[corvanatics@corvair.org]

well i tried mixing a small amount of synthetic oil with real oil and it did 
not look like anything i want in any running thing.  that was a long time ago. 
 but if i was switching i would want a good flush of the regular stuff 
somehow. also was told by darn good machine shop that if i wanted to run synthetic 
to please break it in with conventional oils. he builds most of the winning 
engines at oswego ..so i run conventional oils in engine and keep it changed but 
run  torco in gear oils and a valvoline combo in trannys. synthetics are 
better with heat/boling etc but I still want it changed  no matter what i hear.  i 
know a corvair guy running a big motorhome that swears by amsoil. i have 
boating friends who run amsoil in hiper boat engines and love it also.you guys 
almost have me talked into trying it again. cripes i even had trouble with mobil 
one in my snowblower...regards tim colson
