[Spam] [AT] Transmission Gear noise

[charlie hill]

Don, most of the guys that work on the water, marine contractors,
fisheremen, etc are using vegetable oil these days.  The fines for loosing
petroleum oils overboard are just too high to risk.

I used to know what weight those Road Rangers used but I can't remember now.
I do remember that for some reason it was necessary to use mineral oil.
