[V8] Hydraulic Fluid

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

Let me just add that "Chevron RYKON Premium 32" is a direct replacement for
MOBIL DTE13M (which of course is our best guess for a replacement for Pentosin
11s)
I went with the RYKON only because it is easier to get. It is the same price as
the DTE13M. One possible advantage is that it comes in a lighter weight as well
- RYKON Premium 16, for those of you who live in Alaska or Minnisota.

Then again... if it is -54 outside I think I would just stay inside.
