Reply to "What Oil to run in the Pantera?"

George PAdmin.

Gary,

I've been out of town, logged onto a friends computer this AM, sorry I haven't responded sooner.

Ash content is still a measured "spec" for motor oil, but it is not listed on the bottle. Ash content may be specified in the ILSAC or API oil rating systems. In general ash content is better than in decades past, the high ash content oils run around 1% I think. The oils with high ash content, by the way, are Valvoline, Halvoline, Shell.

Detergent content is not advertised either, although most oils have "detergent" or additives that take the place of detergent. Modern oils have an extensive additive package. The exception is the oil you mix in gasoline for 2 cycle engines, that oil contains no detergents, and may say "non-detergent" on the label.
