   I should have said 20W50... although I live in the southeast, Atlanta
has a winter season... such as it is.


  Another benefit of my switching to the Mobil1 15W50 was the disappearance
of random lifter noise- they stayed pumped up even after a 3 month period
of downtime when the bus was never started.  When it finally did get
started, the oil pressure light turned off seconds after starting.  I
switched to an inline VW engine after that motor had gone 165,000 miles.


  Temperature gauge?  What's that for?
