[AT] aid please

Cecil,  I won't argue the point with you.  I just have never seen any 
evidence of modern oil hurting an old engine and it keeps them cleaner.  You 
might be right about the temps and obviously the non-detergent doesn't hurt 
them.

Farmerbeal,  the Fuller Roadranger transmissions in heavy trucks use or used 
straight mineral oil.  That might have changed in the 20 some years since I 
drove for a living but surely there is still some mineral oil out there for 
the old Roadrangers still in service.  Try checking at a truck repair shop 
or truckstop.
