the other thing leaking gasoline into the cylinders does is wash the oil
off the cylinder wall. gasoline is a good solvent and it does clean the

that's probably the worst thing because you have no lubrication when the
motor is restarted until the oil flow is restored. that condition
produces bad wear on the walls and rings, and that has nothing to do
with oil change frequency. like i said, it's bad juju. g


Ahh! THAT makes perfect sense. And that's not something that high flow
synthetics are going to be any better at preventing either, I would guess.
