Just drained the remnants of the 21 year old Castrol 20W/50 that remained in the bottom of the sump.
It probably has about 2000 miles of driving on it.
About a pint came out.
This is what it looks like.
And, this is the analysis results from the oil test lab:
What do you guys think about the appearance of the oil?
I am not as worried as I thought I should be.
There are pin tip size specs of gold/copper in the old oil.
Plans are:
Drain the old gas with the vacuum pump,
squirt a shot of Marvel Mystery Oil in each cylinder (reinstall the plugs),
pour 12 quarts of new Castrol 20W/50 in the oil filler neck,
hook up a new battery,
pour a gallon of fresh premium gasoline in the tank,
spray a burst of starting fluid into the airbox intake snout,
pull up on the choke lever,
turn the key
and
hope it purrs to life.
I don't have the battery or oil yet, so probably next week.
If it starts, I will shoot a video/audio & link to it here.
Thank for all your contributions to this thread. It has kept it interesting, challenging & informative. Back to work now.
