You have another problem...possibly a pilot bearing...think about it..oil
(especially the good stuff) isn't gonna cause that type of mechanical
dificulty...The pilot brng problem or an internal problem is going to be
most likely.MT 90 will work in all but the very coldest of
temperatures..then MTL will be the next best ting...
