Larry,

It was mostly a joke. I use Mobil 1 in the tranny. The engine has 50,000
miles on it.

However, in your joke about castor oil (sp), did you realize that
Castrol was Castor Oil when it came out, and that's how it got it's name.

Did you know that most racing cars did use castor oil. (and the smell of
burning engine oil in the exhaust was actually pleasant). Old timers
recall missing the smell of castor oil at the races. (I love the smell
of Napalm in the morning?)

Did you know that the Bugatti daily starting instructions required that
you drain the engine of all of the castor oil (required) before
retiring, and place it on a stove to warm it up in the morning, before
adding back to the engine and trying to start it.

All true stories.
