    My father was a die hard for 15w40 Pennzoil. 52 years he never had a engine failure on a truck of his. He was beside himself when the stopped making it.

    necessitous relation. the type of individual required to make it happen within the equipment given back then, had to know a lot about a lot, just to not be a sitting duck. now the nannies are all in the equipment, the type of individual required to make it happen, doesn't need to know a lot more than what the pedals do.
