Not so slick 50

[Ralph Cook <bluesgtar@redrose.net>]

Many thanks for the caution, Dan Sinclair. 
I have used Castrol Syntec either straight or mixed with castrol GTX in
1984T,84GTC, 87TQ, 90V8Q and now a 93V8Q and I have never, ever had a
problem. However I have used Fram filters on some of my Mechanical
dependants and after reading the recent list survey nooo-way will I use
em again.
This list has once again proven to be a valuable tool for maintaining
fine machinery. Thanks for all the hard work and research.
