I usually figure 6oz per 2gal cap. But the amount is not critical. What is, that a certain level be maintained.
Kroil is volital and evaporates over time and heat. So every so often take some oil off the dip stick rub it between your fingers and smell it, you should be able to detect that the Kroil is still there. As you know Kroil has a very distinct odor. If not detected add 1 or 2 oz. In this mix for an old engine I would include an equal amount of Dextron ATF. Both these oils act as wetting agents (detergents) for your oil, the ATF is not volital and does not evaporate. Dex is very high temp and hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water . As some others stated any good ASME, proper grade, rated oil should be enough, but that is for ordinary circumstances in Ideal conditions. Having set for 20 years is neither ideal or ordinary. Oils harden over time. The real condition of the engine is unknown. Now Power Punch resembles STP but make no mistake, appearance is where the similarities stop. Wynn's Fiction proofing is more like PP. But I use PP as Iam quite familiar with this product it is available at NAPA stores here, follow the label directions as to the ratios of application. These are additives I always use as a cocktail mix in all my old engines. I also add this mix to gear boxes. It seems to work as I have little trouble with any of them. Kroil also aids with Hydraulic systems, at a ratio of 1 to 50. Keep the fuel upped on Kroil to lube up the inject pump. Reduce amounts as use goes on.
