[2]Oil in cans marked 10W or S.A.E. 10-10W is satisfactory for use where S.A.E. 10W is recommended.

Most of the higher priced motor oils sold today contain chemical detergents which hold extremely small particles of carbon or other foreign matter in suspension. Many of the particles are so small that they flow through the oil filters with the oil and remain in suspension. For this reason, oil which is perfectly good for lubrication purposes may be discolored when seen on the oil level gage. With such oils the need for an oil change should be governed by the mileage the oil has been used and the dust conditions prevalent during that mileage. As long as the oil retains a “slick” quality and good body, it is generally satisfactory.
