RE: save the list......RE: WHICH OIL TO USE?

["Clough, Sam" <SClough@irps.atl.invesco.com>]

I was afraid that might have happened.  This caused a huge number of posts
(most opinions only) on the P-list.  I will continue with Mobil 1.  If you
wish to make any suggestions, please email me privately as I would love to
hear your experiences and compare them with the Porsche list, but wish to
save space on the list for, shall we say, more valuable conversation.
