my most recent misadventure (long)

[abatzis2 at hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

heh heh. chevron 10w-40. thought briefly about synthetic, but realized it 
probably wouldn't be in there too long (and i would have been even more 
pissed throwing synthetic in a toasted engine). watched the oil gauge for 
about 100 miles, finally feeling better that it was reading ~1-2bar lower 
than before likely as a result of thinner dino oil, instead of shot oil 
pump/cylinders/bearings/etc.
