Hey! Someone paid attention!

Yes there are more options than Rotella.

This brings up a good point: you can increase your engine's HP by adding HP Sauce to the oil and fuel. I have no idea why it isn't carried in the parts stores. It isn't tested by any recognizable automotive authority so it's basically the same as SeaFoam, Lucas, STP, and Slick50.

Part ID

Fell off my jeep this morning while I was driving :/ Looks like a bushing from the suspension? Will take a look under the Jeep after I am off work, but I figured someone might just know the part by looking at it. That way I can find a replacement and read up on it.

Thanks!
