I play one on TV... When I came to college I was originally majoring in mat. sci. Cut to many years later and I graduated a computer engineer, but I try to keep up with materials progress and have a soft spot for advanced materials. What's up? -Dave On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 2:50 AM, Kurt Nolte

That sounds shady also (the re-painting).  It could be legit, but my instinct is just me, being suspicious.  I would have to had heard him myself to make a more definite determination.  I would be inclined to offer 700, not 1700. After a title/history search.  Can you contact the previous owner?

80w90 that meets all your other requirements will do just fine. It will be a touch thinner than straight 90w oil when cold, but after a short while it won't matter. On Sep 18, 2010 1:45 PM, "Paul" wrote: *It's okay...we're not talking brands. ;)* * * *Paul * On Sat, Sep 18, 2010 at 11:43 AM, K
