If you live in temperature extremes, the stuff's not for you.  I've
already noticed that the PS is much weaker in temps as "high" as 32
degrees F.  I wouldn't "heartily" recommend it anymore.  It's
probably going to thin out at higher temps too, which sounds fine,
except that you sorta need the brakes :-)

You've been forewarned.

DTE-13M.

Actually, shoot.  I never got around to finding out about their
synthetics...meant to do that...
