Just switch to lucas...gives you 30HP, makes your paint shine, and makes unicorns fly down from the heaven carrying lepricons. Legit

Canola oil. When I change it I'll use it in my turkey fryer for that smokey hydrocarbon taste.

I changed my mind about what weight oil I use several years ago after reading Dr. Haas's article at BITOG. I still buy whatever major brand oil is on sale at the time....paying close attention to the weight with the lowest 1st number.
