the reluctance, confusion, emotion, etc. involved with engine oil selection is amazing. you'd think lube would be simple. everything else is...

this is central MN so tropical heat wasn't the cause.
no one who bought a new ford or ih during that time had any problems (at least that the neighbors knew of).
