   MH>RW> Back in the early 60s, I used to buy used bulk oil, filtered and cleaned   
   MH>RW> at 15 cents per quart. They would put additives in it to bring it up to   
   MH>RW> par. I had an old Ford that would burn 4 quarts of oil every 25 miles an   
   MH>RW> my job was 28 miles from home. Had to stop half way and put in a couple   
   MH>RW> of   
   MH>RW> quarts, every day. I fixed that Ford by buying a used but junk Ford and   
   MH>RW> swapped engines.   
      
   MH>Wow, 4 quarts in 25 miles?  That must have been leaving a nice black smoke   
   MH>cloud!  :)
