[Healeys] Tranny/Overdrive Lub

[John Soderling]

MT90 or MTL - I guess they both have advocates.  When I made the switch from 
20W-50 to Red Line about nine years ago, I called Red Lines headquarters 
(about 15 miles from my house) and talked to their applications engineer 
(who use to own a big Healey) and he recommended MT90 as best for the Healey 
transmission with overdrive.  That's what I've been using.
Vrooom vrooom,

Any variation of Obamacare will include a "global budget" which will have an 
unelected board to dictate what is covered for different ages of patients, 
i.e., the older you are the less the Washington  will authorize to be spent 
on certain life-extending procedures for you.  I liken this to high altitude 
bombing from 35,000 feet where you don't see the faces of the people you 
kill!
