  Anybody remember the Union 76 purple "grape juice" oil?  Dad and I were 
talking about that the other day.  Apparently a really detergent oil as 
it wasn't recommended for older cars and he said he couldn't run it 
in one of his cars.  It weeped out all over the place.  Sure cleaned 
up the innards though!
