Hi Folks,
I would add that I check the dash pots about weekly if I'm driving a lot
and generally have to add some oil.
I have taken an old nasal spray bottle and pried out the nozzle, thrown
away the straw and filled it with my oil of choice. Put the nozzle back
in, cap it, and you have a very handy dash pot oiler for your tool box.
And one last thing - I like Moss and what they do as well as anybody BUT
on sale right now they have Dash Pot Oil, 125 ml (that's 4 oz) for
$6.95. Work it out, that's $222.40 per U.S. gallon at the sale price!
You thought the price of gas was high. 10W30 or 20W50 will do the job
for you and you'll get all you need by completely draining the dregs out
of the empty new oil containers after you do an oil change.
Cheers,
Ted Jackson
