I'm sure CherokeeKid was using sarcasm. It's what nice people do instead of calling people idiots.I can do this. One of my buddies (who is an Amsoil dealer) gave me a spray can of Amsoil motorcycle chain wax. It doesn't dry sticky, so it won't attract dust, and it doesn't wash off the jack mechanism in the rain.
There you go...Amsoil and high lift in the same post.

If you have time this is one of the best discussions I've ever heard about oils. I don't agree with every single little detail and it ain't short but overall for what it is, it's pretty balanced. I also enjoy reading the newsletters from Blackstone Labs.
back in the Model A era cars needed the bearings replaced every 300 to 400 miles.

I agree. I bought a brand new Chevy pick-up in 1990 & decided to just run conventional Penzoil 10W30 motor oil. I drove the truck for 11 years & about 150,000 miles with oil & filter changes at 5,000 miles. Then my son talked me out of it (I still regret that) & he drove it until it had something like 240,000 miles. The truck still looked new, ran great & it didn’t smoke of leak at all. It only had regular maintenance & tune-ups. He only sold it because his family was getting bigger & he needed a crew cab truck. Somebody got a really nice pick-up & Ive often wondered what ever became of it. My point is that regular maintenance is much more important than the brand of oil that you use.X2, it’s just oil. There’s no reason to think any oil is going to do anything special for you. Welcome to marketing 101 though.
