Re: Engine & trans. oil

Really the best person to talk to is somebody in the technical end of the
lubrication industry.  They know the hows and whys of lubricants, but
unfortunately they aren't easy for many of us to get in touch with.

When I said a "good mechanic", I didn't mean a "parts changer".  I meant
somebody that really has the "feel" of it.

(Dave.  I wasn't saying anything against John Twist, the man you were
talking to.  I know nothing about him, so I could not judge.  But, at least,
he does know our types of cars.)
