Gosh, Kevin! Your new baby has gone to your head!!!!!!! I believe we had dinos in Oz, too, but we don't have dino oil. I note that someone said: "I made the first change using silkolene dino oil to 5K then changed again using Motul dino oil and ........" so you had different types of dinos, too! So, any other less original ideas than Kev's...that are "fair dinkum" as we say here!?? I still want to know where dino came from..or what it means in this oil context! Please....
