There it is folks...another new record for oldest thread revival by twobanger2. I really think this one's going to be a tough one to beat at 14 years 6 months and 28 days, crushing the previous record at 12 years 4 months and 8 days. Twobanger2 please be ready to recieve all of the prizes and accolades that come along with such a prestigious award.

I'm impressed... I don't think I've ever seen a thread on any forum this old dug up before. He charges out of the gates with a first post that sets a record for oldest post dug up. Nicely done. Too bad there isn't a font for sarcasm.

Only if you bounce yourself. Welcome aboard!!

You inadvertently revived a 15 year old post, of course it's going to be amusing. We're laughing with you, not at you. We've all done something similar, don't take it personally. Believe me, you'll know if someone's going after you.

Now, what question would you like to explore? There are lots of choices for motor oils, and lots of choices for the primary/transmission oils. I use Bel-Ray Sport Transmission oil for the primary and Castrol GTX 20/50 in the motor. Others will have their choices, it's a very democratic situation. Everyone has their personal choice without affecting others, true freedom!!!!!
