Now that's not fair!! Closest I'll get will be WOA opening for 2004 season next January in Sydney. A 3 day event. Tickets available now for A$242!. I reckon a few of should come down for a party?
Keep it up, sprintman. All I know is that we Yanks got a big hole in the ground in Arizona, and you Aussies got Ayer Rock. Dunno how guys did it, but, we want it back.quote:

Texas yes heard of that. Little state that added to California would fit into the State of Queensland (and that ain't our biggest state). But then we only have 6 states and 2 territories.
I have to say Redline's 5w-20 sounds interesting. Terry, what is meant by bench testing ?, sounds like you are impressed with the oil. I'd be willing to run it on my new car based on Redline's reputation and the fact that their oils don't shear under normal use. Any other info or opinions you have to share on this oil would be interesting Terry !.quote:

Running that in my 99 Escort wagon. After 12K miles TBN is 4.5 (via Dexsil kit) and viscosity still seems within reason. (finger comparitive test with fresh sample)quote:

We'll see 5W-20 recommended for more gasoline engines and 10W-30 diesel lube for more diesel engines. Fuel savings is small but real.quote:

I heavily disagree with this statement. Most dealerships have a high turnover rate on the low-key service tech's, usually the lube workers, and the fellow's that rotate/balance the tires. Generally these guys know far less then you do about your car, and tend to make mistakes.quote:
Take your car to Ford and have them do all maintence incl oil changes. They know your car better than anyone. Also, if the manual states something, do it.
