Message	That was very well written. The point of it was that ALL oil is too thick at start up. He claimed that unless track raced, 0-20 oil would be best. If track raced then 0-30 or 40, iirc. I'm still struggling with the logic and haven't read the article for awhile, but it is worth reading. "This, is Chewbacca!" - Johnnie Cochran, October 7, 1998
