<VV> New Oils for Classic cars

[Eric S. Eberhard]

Hmmm -- just bought some Saturday at Wally World.  Napa always has 
it.  But if availability ever becomes a problem then one would have 
to consider that as well.  That is why I don't use Brad Penn or 
Amsoil, not that they are not good products by most accounts, I just 
can't get them easily.  We also have several Mobil stations in town 
that carry it, but even Napa is cheaper!  Eric
