I didn't even know there were better and worse qualities of differential
fluids. I suppose it makes sense... There are better and worse qualities of
everything.

Maybe I should put a better fluid in my Dak if I'm going to be using it to tow

p.s. I captioned one of my previous emails 'CP19/3 #492 "Shadowfax"'. That's
from another list I'm on... That's the caption for my boat, not my Dak. ;)
