these were my first two thoughts when I read that too. I haven't had
any more since on the issue, so they're what I'll stick with.
Especially the first one which just leaves me cringing at the thought
of an engine running dry.
I mean, my RC is way way way way overdue for an oil change, and I'll
hope that the oil pressure comes back up after I do it (yeah, *that*
far overdue) but I'm still not mean enough to turn it over dry.
