Makes me laugh all this oil stuff. The Project I just brought has always used fully synthetic oil for 15 years of its life, still runs and has done virtually 120,000 miles!!!!

Of course I use only mineral oil in my FD! :D :rollin

As for how much - I have just looked in the owners handbook and it only says about topping it up! :confused:
