Maybe I am using the wrong stuff in my B--it never lasts long enough to
turn color, get old, wear out, ...
I have been using straight 20 weight oil which makes it run well when the
damper is full. The problem is that it really doesn't last long. I have
to refill at least once a month and I should do it every other week. BTW
I do drive it almost every day and when I notice it start missing when
accelerating from a stop, I know it's time to refill the damper.
I tried 20W50 and it really ran worse with more missing and stumbling.

I'm curious too about what is recommended and what works best.
