53 green 1- ton 'Bolter 5 Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 614 Bucks County, Pa.	Changed my oil on a stock 53' 216. The engine is fine, but I was curious if anyone added an additive to help keep the Babbitt bearings, cam and lifters protected better. Yes, I know that it operated for 64 years without issue with standard non detergent oil's before. Doing research, BestLine makes a nice product. Any opinions?
