red 308 engine oil

[vc commodore]

I've never replaced the washer as it doesn't leak....Reckon it's brass on my 6 banger.....Had the same sump for 10 ish years...

Bit of a believer...If it ain't broke don't fix it.....

Hope it helps a little

also whats better to use I think my sump plug was copper or bronze by the look but supercheap supplies an aluminium one? Ive never had any trouble with the copper brass one.

Alloy is fine.

Throw in some Nulon lifter free, it's good with carbon problems.

A diesel oil is worth a try too as they have more detergents which can help with built up carbon without just breaking **** free like you can get with engine oil flushes.

Could also try a poor man's tune up, a bottle of water. Rev the engine and poor slowly down the carb, don't let it stall out. It'll give it a bit of a steam bath.

What plugs do you run? I'd try one heat range warmer to help with plug fouling.

I think its running ngk 5 heat range at the moment would a 4 be ok to use... It fouls the 5s pretty badly.

Can't hurt to try.

I wonder if it's worth swapping the intake, it might make it less of a pig.

Is it oil fouling or fuel fouling, if it's oil fouling hotter plugs just last a little longer.
