Wouldn't it be nice if you could use a water soluble lubricant in the Model A crank case.

The trick is not too make a mess :-)
I purchased a drip pan, about 3x2 ft,
it long enough for engine and transmission drips. Easy to clean metal pan. Don't use milk containers for oil storage, oil will melt the container :-(Comment

Not only that, but they are now made of plastic that falls apart very quickly, especially if it's outside or the sun hits it.Originally posted by Big hammer View Post
I've used ice cream 4.5 quart pails outside, and they crumble within a month or two.Comment

Just saw this on ebay, and he has 3 oil pans for only $10 each. It's a good buy if you live close enough to pick it up in person.

The Model T does not have an oil pump. The engine and transmission share an oil pan, they are both bathed in the same oil. That oil is picked up by dippers under the connecting rods and slung around the engine. The magneto is attached to the flywheel and the bottom of it spins through the sump throwing oil everywhere. Ford had a funnel and tube system to catch some of that oil slung by the magneto...09-24-2018, 08:38 AM -
So as not to hijack the other oil thread on here, I thought I would ask a new question in a new thread.
It seems conventional wisdom says you can mix conventional oil and synthetic. Its also been reported that conventional oil will detract from the superior performance of synthetic oil and reduce its benefits.
It's also a given that a quart or more oil stays in the tray...09-04-2017, 02:12 PM -

Water did not get inside my coup but did get inside oil pan. I drained about 5 quarts of water before seeing any oil. replaced oil, pulled plugs, added about 1/2 oz of MMO to each cylinder and turned engine over by hand several times. Ran engine this morning ( did not realize muffler was filled with water) drained oil again, it was the color of milk. I know I need to pull valve cover off and clean...09-24-2018, 07:48 AM -
We may have went over some of this in the oil filter thread. I am still a little grey on how the A oil system works. The A has a oil pump but is not full pressurized? Only certain parts get the oil from the pump? Shops machine and add some internal plumbing to get oil to the cam bearings?
The B blocks have a better oil system?

Let's see if I can remember enough of what I was told to ask this question. Apparently the EPA mandated the removal or maybe the addition of some component to motor oil?? I was told that the new formula now carries an additional code and that it should NOT be used in our motors. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks03-03-2018, 10:16 AM

As a few of you know - I have a 1930 Town Sedan, Murphy Body (March 1930). And she's a little rough. My wife has already named her Millie. The engine hasn't run in some time and I want to attempt to get it started and see what all is wrong and needs to be fixed in the drivetrain. If I don't have to I don't want to drop the oil pan or remove the valve cover to see if I can get this started. The engine...10-01-2018, 11:28 AM -
I'll start by saying do not attempt to run the motor on the fuel supply from the tank. Pumping debris or old crap gas into the carburetor is never a good thing. This can cause your valves and rings to stick. It will also mess up a good working carburetor.
Hang an auxiliary fuel supply with fresh gas gravity fed directly to the carburetor....04-10-2018, 08:37 AM
