Message	for a while. Had really good luck with it, and gone are those lifter ticks at startup, my honda seems to run alot smoother on it and the rb26 seems to like it alot as well. It is synthetic and being a diesel oil it has more zinc (good) compared to gasoline oils. "yo yo. writing this one in jail - tight300zx" I hope you got soap on a rope??
