[dsn_klr650] bruning oil
Posted: Sun Jun 18, 2000 2:45 pm
Karl,
I wouldn't think so.
I do know that I went to Penzoil for 3k after Mobil 1 and noticed the
same symptom. I've since returned to Mobil 1, and still have the soot. Using
about
6 oz. to 3k now.
However, this may not have as much to do with switching oils as it does
religious maintenance of the air filter. Allowing 'any' dirt to get to those
rings
will wear them fast. So, now I'm doing air filter cleaning often, and have
purchased
some filter socks from Fred for their added bennies.
