Subject:      Re: How not to change your Oil!

BTW, I've been a Pennzoil SAE 30 man since the day I bought the bus, and yesterday all my parts place had was Castrol 30. I bought it. I still feel uneasy about it. My only experience with another brand oil was the fiasco with Valvoline Synthetic. ACK. Anyone else out there running Castrol? Good? Bad? Ugly? - - - -

i'm a castrol type myself. Ive sent in enough rebate coupons on cases that now they send me the catalog for clothes etc. They have jackets in XXXL, but they don't have Spinner dresses with the castrol logo embroidered on the front. :(

btw, what a hassle with the oil change. I take muirs advice, one hand halfway up the wrench for 10mms. Ive been paranoid about sptripping bolt holes, as i have done that . You don't want it too loose, or too tight, but just right.
