Re: sintetic or regular oil,whats better for an old motor
Personally, I would stick with regular old Dino oil at this point. It has worked well in yours for 22 years and that's not too bad! I don't see any advantage to switching now, other than running a bit cleaner.

Max, you might want to get rid of that "Signature Line" below your posts. It gets confusing. <br /><br />

Re: sintetic or regular oil,whats better for an old motor
As the happy owner of a 1976 85hp Johnson V4 that has run perfectly (except for bad power pack last year, didn't die on water, found on hose) I refuse to run anything in this horse except genuine Johnson branded standard oil. OK, Evinrude is acceptible . Am I picky? Yup. I had this horse for 3 1/2 years. She has only failed to start once and it was my own fault for flooding it. It has never fouled the plugs either.
