all this talk about oils and spark plugs and coils , high tension leads; has anyone been using quicksilver marine oil in their engine. or high tension leads. susposivly the marine wires will not interfear with gps and radios. so this leads to aviation oils and wires? not sure. and what makes one oil better than the next is it not all coming from the ground as crude? | ||

I've got some marine wires in my engine compartment. I treat them all the same. Just covered them all with dielectric grease. I've never heard of anyone using aviation oils. | ||

Hey Micky, I use Magnecor wires, and havent had any problems with my radio or my gps. and I run a number of power lines for stereo through the engine compartment. Its probably overkill, but its whatever you like. leo | ||

Aviation oil is well over $5 a quart, usually in only straight weights (50), they are FAA/PMA approved. Designed for air-cooled engines that produce max. horse-power@ full throttle (all take-offs). Plug wires are connected to spark plugs and safety wired so they don't fall off. Synthetic turbine oil is thinner than water and will eat up any seals, gaskets etc. just my $.02 ron | ||

QuickSilver is 25W-40. Too thick IMHO and could contain additives not good for your O2 sensors. Its also a conventional oil, and for the price is not competitive with Mobil 1 or Amsoil. |
