[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 521301, member: 15199"]Easy answer: probably, eventually complicated: It depends. I Use only fully synthetic oil in my cars with no sulfur.;) Before the 70s, motor oil was "crude" ( pun) with high sulfur content. Especially after use. Go 3000 miles in your Hemi, filter the old oil, and it gave colors!:bigeyes: But totally unpredictable. Rather than use motor oil, just get some sulfur from the garden center and add a known amount to a known amount of mineral oil, transparent so you can see what is happening, and experiment with different time exposure. This will give a person a better idea of the toning/corrosion process, as well as the mistakes that can be made. :yawn:Maybe some will think I am advocating AT, No, I am advocating experimentation for the purpose of educating one on the toning process. If it goes wrong, your booty.:D Sulfur is bad Karma :ohya:, misuse it and Friday the 13th will go on all year!:headbang::ohya: Jim[/QUOTE]
