Detergent vs. Non Detergent Oil

[Soundguy]

I've got a Model F motor under the bench that definitely didn't come with a filter... it has sump screen... no filter.vs non-detergent...

That is !NOT! a ford tractor engine. Thus -0- bearing on this thread.. owner has a NAA ( ford) tractor engine.. red tiger.. has an oil filter.. from the factory.

The antique engines I have date from 1905 to 1950.

and we are talking about ford tractor engines, with filters. naa, filter from factory.

The Fords from 1911 though the early 30's don't have oil filters unless after market...

and we are talking ford tractor engines.. with oil filters. ford put out the 9n in 1939.. it had an oil filter STOCK, when it rolled off the factor line.

The 1905 Olds doesn't even have a crankcase... oil just drips on the bearings and then onto the road.

And this is not a ford tractor engine, like is being discussed in this thread.. thus has -0- bearing.

Can't we both be right?

On different subjects. you are for some reason discussing antique engines with no filters, whereas the rest of us are discussing FORD tractor engiines that came with oil filters, STOCK, from the factory, as built, when built.

many ways... they are not better when it comes to flat tappet engines because zinc is no longer part of the formula. Modern oils are murder on a flat tappet engine.

That's why i like to use a 15w40 (diesel) rated (API-C/S) that will have more zddp than usually a API-S only rated oil.

Again the title of the thread is:

Detergent vs. Non Detergent Oil.

I stand by everything I have written as pertinent to the title of this thread.

Individuals can have different opinions based on experience...

Nothing I have said has taken away from what you have posted... I always find you to be very knowledgible and enjoy reading your posts.

I'm not a betting man... if I were, I would bet many opened this thread solely based on it's Title looking for a general discussion of Motor Oils...

For the record... the Model F tractor block I have under the Bench was manufacture by Ford Motor Company of Dearborn Michigan and sold under the Fordson label... still a Ford Tractor motor...

Again the title of the thread is:...

who cares about the title. the actual meat and potatoes was a specific application that uses a filter..

For the record... the Model F tractor block I have under the Bench was manufacture by Ford Motor Company of Dearborn Michigan and sold under the Fordson label... still a Ford Tractor motor...

No.. NOT a ford tractor. a FORDSON tractor.. I was VERY SPECIFIC in my wording.

Look at dates and patents.. Fordson and FORD tractors are not IDENTICAL.
