Welllll, the saying "There ain't no fool, like an old fool" seems to apply to me today. I should have listend more closely to my builder rather than assuming things.
ASSUME broken down makes,"an ASS of U and ME"
A little knowledge IS dangerous. I did as suggested and went back to the Kendall site and guess what I found? Yup! It's detergent alright.
The only thing I can't find an answer for is the difference between SL and SJ. My
oil is SJ.
Now to help with a little fuel for the ongoing conflagration (pun intended) Kendall does make a non detergent but........ it's recomended usage is in pre 1964 automobiles, air compressors and other specialized applications specified by manufacturer.
What I think is that when the experts speak we should listen.......with both ears. Who knows, we might actually learn something....
Thanks to Bob Parmenter and Lubrecon for being willing to try helping us in spite of ourselves.
