Some of it will bring a quick death to your aircooled engine from lack of heat transfer... but basically, NONE of it is meant to be used in an engine that doesnt use an oil filter. It scrubs out the neatly stored contaminants and keeps them circulating through the bearings. My burned piston was from lack of adequate heat transfer properties... I couldnt drive car over 40 without getting it too hot... but before I could back off I cracked the piston from overheating. Keith > > Is there something wrong with using synthetic oil?
