Ah... that's right. Yeah... sitting (especially for years) does not help any. Sometimes some marvel mystery oil (or similar) poured into the cylinders through the spark holes can help with this issue, but sometimes there's no helping it short of a teardown and hone.

yeah, a quart in 100 miles is way too much. I don't like having to add oil at all between changes, 30 quarts between changes is a no-go.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Yah I'd dump it in that case too. When I acquire a new vehicle, it gets fresh fluids everywhere but minimal maintenance until the drivetrain is deemed worthy of it.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

Not at this point. It would have before the first start. It helps break up the rust that's in the cylinder and prevents the rings from breaking on that first crank.Originally posted by frankenstang View Post
