Re: Mobil 1 in a lawnmower...

["Jouko Haapanen" <joukoh@vtoy.fi>]

I've got Mobil 1 0-W40 in my lawnmower (Stiga/Briggs&Stratton quattro) and
to top that off, I run my 2-stroke trimmer with a mix of 98E premium
unleaded and Castrol R. I know it's pricey, but it's worth it just for the
scent.  Just close your eyes and you are back at the track...

The R also gets used on my Birel/Parilla kart.
