[TR] TR4A - Gear Oil Question

[Andrew S. Mace]

 I agree, Randall, especially if you try the car first thing some late fall
morning when the temperatures are still in the 20s or low 30s! :( OTOH, if
it's a multi-viscosity (like 85W-140), it might not be too bad, but still
probably better to stay with the 80 or 90 weight stuff.

Nah, it'll work.  As a side benefit, your right arm will get a good aerobic
workout driving around town!
