[Shotimes] Oil and gas

[Carl Prochilo]

The reason I said 87 is that I know several people here use it all
the time.  I've tried it on occasion and other than the car feeling
a little less power it does work fine.  So, 89 should be fine as
well.

As for the oil, I haven't experimented that much but several people
have had good results.  There's another school of thought that says
just changing your oil every 3K miles works fine and that just about
any oil will do the trick.  I just wanted to see if the additives in
MaxLife can slow down some of the leaking seals.  The 92 looks to be
better these days.  I still need to pull the intake off and take
care of those seals and once done, the car should be good as new.

Here's my thinking on the dishwasher.  The thought of eating off
plates that shared space with car parts just doesn't sound right...
