Hi all, just did engine and oil injector pump oil changes... the engine oil looked "normal" and the injector pump oil was brown, very gross. Maybe it hadn't been changed in years or maybe there is another problem. Since both engines were the same I assumed there isn't a problem except the previous owners. I wouldn't have even known to change it if I didn't watch a bunch of YouTube videos about the FL120 before working on it.
Anyway I have to wonder with modern oil technology, if it would be better (or at least acceptable) to use full synthetic oil on the injector pump and run it longer (as long as the engine oil? Engine #2's injector pump in difficult and messy to change.
Does anyone install a valve and barb to the bottom of the pump to make changes easier and less messy?
