Well, I have read all 1001 pages.

I've gone 3 or 4 pages into this oil thread. But I just don't have the attention span. I start thinking of random things like:

Answer:

Or: what is the best girl power song from the 90's?
Answer:
Tlc scrubs

Did the world forget about garbage pale kid cards from the 80's?

Answer:
Hopefully Not!

I sometimes get confused about which is the 40 and which is the 1 when I mix too...

Had a MS170 Friday that had the fuel tank full of bar oil and bar oil tank full of fuel.

Probably quicker to run the oil feed line to the carb and the fuel line to the oiler than it is to explain what the issue was. That way, nobody comes away with hurt feelings.
