[Shotimes] Power steering and AutoRx

[Donald Mallinson]

After Bill Staib reported to me that Valvoline Maxlife oil helped almost 
totally stop leaks in his Gen I SHO, I tried it in my '89 with typical 
front and rear main leaks.  I ran it for part of the summer the last 
two  years, not the entire summer, as I still went with synthetic for 
racing, but it has noticably slowed down the leaks.  A big improvement.

I am a believer that you buy the oil engineered with all the additives 
already in it, and don't put additives in.  So if you are trying to stop 
leaks, try the Maxlife (and there are several imitators that others have 
reported good results with too) first, before just pouring in a bottle 
of something off the shelf.
