Re: When was that Pentosin thread?

Hmm, the color of the synthetic. Unfortunately, I am red-green
color-blind, so to speak. (That's just what they call common
color-blindness, but don't worry, I can tell a red light from a green
light just fine.) The Audi G 002 000 synthetic, however, is definitely
not red. It is green, more of a forest green than Pentosin CHF 7.1,
which is a brighter (lime?) green and is less viscous. Color-blindness
disclaimers do apply.
