It appears no one has any suggestions for my TO-20 oil loss problems... so I guess I've no choice but to fill her up again, and keep trying to hunt down the cause. One thing I failed to mention is my pressure has always read low. Well at least since I replaced all of the gauges! The old O.P. gauge didn't work, so I don't know.
At least I buy the oil by the case.
But still... I hate the waste.
But I heard someone say he and many others have moved away from straight 30 weight... to some multi-viscosity stuff. I think perhaps some 15W40? (And I believe some diesel oil was mentioned... but of course my girl is a gasser! Hmm. I like the sound of that!)
Anyway, can anyone clue me into the thinking there?
My owner's manual calls for straight 30... and it's hard to think of deviating from that... but it was written nearly 70 years ago! So I'm willing to at least listen.
Hopefully before I go and buy another case!
(That's case, NOT Case!
I'm not there yet with my IH!)
Thanks for any suggestions!
