I should know this but I'm going to ask...

Would it make a difference if it were a detergent or non-detergent
oil? For the life of me I can't recall...must be getting senile or
something. 8^(

You didn't go straight from retarded to senile, without going through
the dementia praecox stage.

That's where whatever logical faculties and memories you ever had

If nobody can help the OP find the serial number info he asked for in
the course of 26 useless messages, this thread deserves to be declared
as "officially disrupted", with or without the input of Four-Eyed
Juicy Fruit or **** Stain.

He wanted to know what *year* model the engine was from, so he could
find an oil filter.

You did NOT provide the information that he sought, you just claimed
that the same oil filter was used on all models.

Are you still loitering around citrus groves in Chile?
