What is meant by the octane number in fuel?

What is meant by the octane number in fuel?

The octane number is a measure of a fuels ability to resist detonation.  The higher the octane number, the more resistance a fuel will have to detonation.  This enables the engine to be more highly tuned and to release more power and/or improve the fuel consumption.  The higher the octane number, the better the fuel….

The various different types of gear oil confuse me. What does GL1, GL3, GL4, and GL5 etc. mean?

There are 4 levels of performance in classic gear oils and these really follow the development of gear design. GL1 is the lowest level of performance and is only used in vintage transmissions.

Is it possible to use a more modern type of oil in these very old engines?

Not at all. Modern engines are designed to run on an oil with very low viscosity (thin), such as 0W and 5W. These are too weak for older engines, which have been designed to operate with a viscosity of 20w in winter and 30 or 40 in summer. However, our later formulations, Pistoneeze and all…
