soxtbill, Come on up here and sit beside me. We both heartily agree. You can now take your lumps with me.
First I want to hear about that brand of motorcycle oil that still carries all that nasty zinc and phosphorous. That tickles my fancy. Later we can go install a dpf filter on a few politicians.
I just have one slight difference of opinion. I stubbornly refuse to use 5w-whatever for any application. I have seen too many good blower engines trashed from that stuff.
