This sounds pretty good, but isn't synthetic a bad idea in older motor? I think we covered this issue a while ago, and discussion seemed to center on the fact that old motor leak, and synthetic contribute to this leakage by causing the seals to contract (actually they don't expand as much with synthetic as with dino-oil). SInce I personally keep the oil manufacturers in business with the leaks on my bus, I wouldn't want to pay twice as much just to pour it on the ground :) Craig ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Craig Standley cstand@u.washington.edu University of Washington http://weber.u.washington.edu/~cstand Physics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
