[Bob Frizzell]

What?!!  Marc isn't an Edmonton guy.
Winters in Edmonton are not as bad as some perceive and I'm under my car
changing the oil every 5000 km, regardless.  I'm sure my Edmonton S-friends
are just as conscientious.  I now torque my drain plug to 22 ft. lbs. and
have no problems.
Bob, in sunny, +13 degree Celsius Edmonton.
