Oooh, but it's icky red! Sorry, but the visual just got to me for some 
reason. Never thought of that. I've been using a little metal can of 20wt 
motor oil, but it is probably a little too light, since most of it seems 
to disappear down the bores. I was thinking of changing to 30wt but I 
have been too lazy to find a suitable container. What is the effect (if 
any) of burning ATF in the engine, I wonder?
