You don't like oil threads yet your first post is to fan the flames in an oil related pissing match?

He seems to be alive and well. He visits the other forum daily to b.s. about the weather.

I stumbled onto a thread Randy Evans was doing about the 550XP MarkII in a google search a few years ago. Joined immediately.

Pretty sure they offer it (XSP) in 5w-40 and 5w-30. I know for a fact they make the semi-synthetic (XLE) in 10w-30.

I use the bulk 15w-40 Chevron Delo we stock at work in my tractor and wouldn't be afraid to run it in my small equipment if I felt the need for 40wt. oil. I don't own a German sports car, but if I did you can bet your ass I'd be running exactly what the manufacturer specified, especially in a...

Looking around for a 346xp or other magnesium case 50cc Husqvarna or Jonsered. Stock or ported, prom queens or ugly ducklings, pm me with what you have.
