Not sure, Terry. Here's a couple of the threads he participated in.

FWIW, the two jugs of GTX 5w20 I have show a difference under the U.S. Patent Label. Although the patent numbers are the same, there's "LBL 00005-01 A" on one and "LBL 00005-01 B" on the other, but I guess that could just stand for "Label numbers".

Thats the guy, he had a problem with his new ( at the time) GM 5 or 6 inline engine and I diagnosed the issue for him online here. Never heard from him until recently. I think he suffered a stroke ?

Thanks 427

Yes, that's my understanding. Gee...I hope his recovery is going well.

Its what took Bob Winters Professional legs out from under him. Its good to see him post periodically. We never agreed 100% of the time but we were always sincerely friends. You should see some of the early Noria posts...

Get well Mannix, I want to "axe" you some questions and be "pacific"....

So Terry, is GTX being made concurrently with, and without, the sodium (salicylate detergent?) formulation?
