Hey Keith;

Quit picin' on me, I use the straight 30 weight oil, never liked
multi-viscosity oils (have over hauled to many motors in my day and seen
what they looked like), but I digress, you are right, but where I live you
only see the temperature in that range once in a blue moon and when you do,
with todays technology, the engine turns over a 'bit' slow but fires
right-up (no flames please). I use a friction reducer that I will not
promote on this list. (not *Slick 50*, not *Motorup* or the like, nothin'
most of you folks have probably ever heard of ""this is not a jab"")
