Probably not. Make sure you are using the correct wight of oil and a
good german filter with an anti-flowback valve in it, not something
from the parts store.


I took someone's advice from this list and put in a pint of Marvel
Mystery Oil last oil change. It can site for up to three weeks (that's
as long as I've let it sit, it may go longer) with clattering.
