[V8] Pentosyn Replacement Oil

[Ed Dekker]

Scott, Jeff
    Once found this in the archives.  As I recall, a good writeup by a hydr 
engr said the Mobil/Shell/Chevron hyd oils are good to +20 deg F before they 
get too thick and might cause mechanical failure.  Pentosian is good for 
much lower, maybe -30 or -40 F.  I chose to stick w/ Pentosian in So Ohio w/ 
occasional trips to WI.
