Gojo is great stuff. I'm probably the last one in the world to discover

That's probably true in diesel Mercedes engines, but it's NOT

recommended 7500 mile changes on dino oil, or 3000

Agreed.
I'm in the smaller, lighter, faster camp. Allows me to carry more ammunition,
be more accurate, have less recoil, and shoot more often.
