Many years ago when I lived in Redwood City, CA, a friend bought a '58 Ford Fairlane 500 convertible....It was a good looking car and had about 65,000 miles on it and ran good, was pretty tight in it's steering and suspension and the brakes and transmission seemed just fine.....But, it burned oil, like a quart every 400-500 miles, and it smoked some too...blue, all the time, power on, power off. I had had an old '49 pickup that burned a lot of oil and I put Alemite CD-2 for low milage cars in it and it burned about 1/4 as much oil after that, so I suggested CD-2 for my friends car. He drained the old oil put in 2 cans of CD-2 and filled it up with Quaker State 20 and drove it hard down to LA and around, Had to add 1 quart in that time. Drained the oil and put in new and that Ford used about a quart every 1500-2000 miles after that, no smoke, ran perfect with lots of power (332 four barrel) for the next 4 years when he traded it off. Rings must have been sticky I guess.....
