Re: [DML] what kind of turbo?

["Donald Ekhoff" <ekhoff@xxxx>]

Very good Bruce. This is a problem that many of us aftermarket turbo folk
have. As I was reading your explanation it reminded me of something my dad
did many years ago. We did a lot of boating with two stroke outboard motors
and therefore mixed a lot of oil in with the fuel. My father would always
buy off the shelf motor oil for the purpose even though his buddies would
spend twice as much on "two stroke oil". He maintained that if you read the
label and it stated that it was refined from "paraffin based" crude that it
would burn clean (like a candle). I didn't question it at the time but it
seemed to work just fine. Maybe it would work equally well for our oil
burning turbo cars now? I'm off to read some labels.....
