[6pack] HVDA and antifreeze - two questions

[Bill & AnnaBelle]

Hi Rick,
	Both of these options are  pretty much up to you,  most 
folks have their own  "traditions"  regarding these (and other) 
maintenance items.  As far as Anti-Freeze is concerned I have been 
using the "Fred Thomas" formula.
	One bottle of NoRoison
	One bottle  of Redline Water Wetter
	One Gallon of pre-mixed  Prestone
	Fill  with filtered (NOT distilled) water  ...  lasts for 
several years with no problems on both the TR3, and TR6.

	Regarding the 5  speed i use the Redline MTL  on both cars 
...   but then I am a  Redline fanatic, and  use the motor oil  in 
both  cars also.  I am sure you will get many  opinions, and this  is 
just  mine, and just that ...  an  opinion ...

GoodLuck

>Is "Peak" use?  Went do I need to put new antifreeze in?
>2 years? 5 years?..... each year?
