    Snow's Slippery Starter - Snake Oil Cure?

    Snow believes he may have found the light - he is now using oil that does not contain energy conserving additives, Castrol RX to be specific but any oil not containing ec additives like Rotella T or others would do.

    So, what do you think? Will the starter clutch actually stay engaged when it's supposed to or am I off my rocker?

      It may take an oil change or two to get rid of the effects of the too slippery oil, but going back to regular dino juice will help. It may help your clutch too...
