<VV> oil

[Mark Durham]

Really? I didn't look at that. In fact I went to my local Wally's
world on another errand today and went to check for Accel oil. I did
find Accel oil, but only in a 30wt non detergent, usefull for breaking
in engines, but not much anything else except for chain saw blade oil.
