well owners manual says to use S.A.E. 30 above 32*F or S.A.E. 20W below 32*F. I am going to run S.A.E. 30 since it hardly ever gets below 32*F down here.
As far as the MMO I think it works cause I have used the stuff once in a while (no more than 2 times a year) since ive had the car since Oct 2005. So far I have yet to replace the filter on the carb when i put it on new in 05, I have yet to replace the plugs at all (they still burn clean with a nice white greyish tint to the whole plug) the engine runs great and has 20" of vacuum at idle as well as getting 21 mpg city now after my swap from a flex fan to clutch fan. So in my book the limited useage of it is enough for me to belive that it is keeping the engine running right. Its the only additive I put in the fuel I dont even do the carb cleaner that they say to run. Mainly cause its diluted by the fuel and its not as good as alittle fuel with alot of the cleaner. In the end the most I put in is 4 oz at fill up and its 4 oz going to 10 - 20 gallons of gasoline. It says on the bottle 4 oz per 5 gallons. I just use 4 oz regardless so I am not doing like in that article where their running almost a 50/50 mixture of MMO and avaiation fuel.
But in the end I was just wondering if it would help in the oil for the oil bath filter. I dont think im going to run it though probably just use some plain old cheap 30 weight oil.
Only problem is I looked at the oil bath filter today and I dont see a fill line so I dont know where the fill line would be or how much should be in the unit. The only oil in it is just in the little trough and I dont know if you just fill that up or what.
This is the only photo I got of the base so its below so if anyone could show some insight to where to fill it cause I examined the cleaner today and didnt see no line or mark or groove or nothing.
