[s-cars] Texas tea...oil, that is...

[Jason Mawhinney]

Wow!  This really could open this can of worms again!  If you can't tell, 
this subject has been beaten to death on this list but it seems that while 
everyone groans about it, they always comment.  Anyway, I use the big juggs 
from Wally world.  M1 15-50 Extended Performance is supposedly the one that 
has the ratings for our cars.  We also get down to the single digits and 
less in the winter around here in Boone, NC but rarely get up to 90 in the 
summer.  This is all I run in my beasts and have not experienced any 
problems.
HTH,
