re: side note
I put quacker state 30W motor oil in my R5...did my first topend @ 47,000 miles!!
Got over 1000 miles out of a quart of it to boot!
Oh..here's a good one...(a plug comment WITH an oil imo!), I ran B77HCs, too. EVERYone told me I'd hole a piston with those 'hot' plugs.
Never happened.
I know all about experts (ex=has been, spert=drip under pressure :) ) and them telling me what 'won't work'. That makes me a lot more prone to say, 'If it suits you, it tickles me!!'
...but maxima superM is terrific!!! :)
