Heating & Oil Question
Hello,
I have a furnace in my house with 2 engines. Sometimes, when they "squeak", I had a bit of oil though the oil input hole on the engine to make it stop and prevent seizing. The little can of oil I have used is very very oil, and only says "engine oil" on it. I have run out and at sears I saw a smiliar looking can. However it said "lubricating 3 in 1 oil t prevent rust... etc.." I have been told there is a difference to this lubricating oil and my old engine oil. Is there? Should I be using some different engline oil on my furance engines? |

Try an old fashioned hardware store if you have one locally. -- Rich Greenberg Marietta, GA, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 770 321 6507 Eastern time. N6LRT I speak for myself & my dogs only.

A lot of lousy products have been around forever. 3 in 1 turns gummy. -- Rich Greenberg Marietta, GA, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 770 321 6507 Eastern time.
