The 115 does not have the plastic end caps on the rad so it should be readily

I think it is somewhat dependent on what oil has been used
prior. Havoline and valvoline tend to keep the insides clean. Some
other oils build up soap-like sludge on non-wear surfaces. If you
take off the oil filler cap and see crud built up on the camshaft,
then Change the filter after 1 or

Fats and oils, a lot of it comes from palm oil and animal fats.
Detergents have some other stuff, but it is all sorta benign organic

Contrary to Marshall's wisdom. He often stated that the filter
capacity was HUGE as compared to the crud that would go in it.
Though he wasn't keen on my current policy of only changing
the filter every other time.

Soap is good for your lawn. It washes the pollution off the grass,

Mercury, plutonium, lead. CHON. Take your pick!
These aren't soaps, btw, but detergents. Soap is made
out of oil and a strong base. Such as animal fat and
lye. (Re: Granny Clampett's old recipe.) Detergents

It turns into carbon dioxide when the bugs eat it, and goes into the air
to raise global temperatures and melt the ice caps and kill all manner
of living things. So when you wash your car you are killing the
planet. But if you send Al Gore money it will make it better.
