You wiener, this is misleading information. 1. There are no oil filters on manual transmissions 2. Packing the gearbox with Rolled Oats works better |

Depending on the vehicle, you might be able to keep it alive a bit longer with a synthetic oil of heavier weight, e.g. Redline. -- Now that Spirit Rover has confirmed the presence of weapons of mass destruction on Mars, we are preparing to invade... |
