5....4.....3.....2.....1.....flame on!


Seriously, you will have an easier time getting a clear answer out of "What is the meaning of life?"

Everyone has an opinion. There are several stickies discussing it. Learn about it, then make an educated decision based on your circumstances, because the 'right' answer is not the same from one person to the next.


I recommend EVOO or KY, depending on what girls you tend to pick up.

Castrol GTX 5w-30 (or 10w-40 if a hotter climate).

There, I've saved you a ton of searching and endless [useless] discussion.

That will cure your food poisoning.

It's also the best engine oil for the RX-8. Very pricey though.
