you'll see that all 90w oils are actually the same viscosity. Worth a peak.

Actually, I meant that if it were my car, I'd probably use a numerically lower weight oil than 90. In other words, I'd ignore the owner's manual recommendation (because I had a spare transmission on a shelf in the garage).

Frank: I was wondering when someone was going to pick up on that. Only people (OK, and the wee animals etc.) feel "wind chill". Machines can only get as cold as the ambient temp, regardless of the icy breezes whistling past.
