[Mgs] [Spridgets] Guest Speaker on Oil Formulations

[Larry Daniels]

Tim,

I'll ask him.  If anybody else has specific questions and can't make it, let 
me know and I'll ask.  After the session I'll drop a note as to what he had 
to say.

By the way, Tim, our coffemaker isn't anything special, but we do have a 
British pub in our clubhouse.  The tech session is over at noon which is, 
coincidentally, time to pop a cold one.  If that isn't enough to get you to 
cross over to the good side of the lake, nothing will do it.


Larry

Well, this sounds like a good time! I'm with Howard - in need of oil.
I've been looking at the local "auto parts" stores. I asked about the
Castrol for Classic Cars, which they didn't have, and was told; "We
sell/stock what we are sent." Not much help.  Larry, will you take
"call in questions?" Good, here's mine - I asked this awhile back but
am still wondering. Our gear boxes call for motor oil as the lube.
Does it make any difference in a gear box longevity that the ZDDP has
been removed from the oil?

Coffee and doughnuts? Hmmm. I'll bet you guys have a coffee maker
like the one that is the subject of the Dilbert cartoon for yesterday
and today!  www.dilbert.com.
