Denny, What you need for the Valdez is a couple cans of that good ole stuff to thicken up da earl...STP
The magical oil conditioner to stop oil consumption and boost power !!
And if that don't git it done, just be happy knowin that oil goin out the exhaust is keepin them pipes from rustin out, and oil is cheaper than exhaust pipes !
Okay, so I aint no help, I was just goofin around, like it said when joined up,some of this is for enjoyment, plus todays my birthday and I do as I please on the one day of the year thats mine.

I spose you could do a cyl. leak test on it to see whats leaking and where its going, but without the machine it would be time consuming to set it up.
What da hect,everybodys mentioned everywhere that oil can go,plus I feel you knew that cause you been round the block more than once.
Or you could stop using that cheap oil ! lol
