Steve Gagnon thanks for your comments on oils. Perhaps you would elaborate
further on some points that I've wondered about.

Don't Ford and Gm suggest different transmission oils? Is there really a
difference?

What exactly is hydraulic oil compared to, say straight, mineral oil?

Many aircraft use a red tinted brake fluid while some use (I believe)
mineral oil. What is the diference?

My old tracter use TDH fluid. Is it untinted transmision fluid?

What the world needs is ONE oil for all applications!
Thanks,
Peter.

Mobil 1 comes as close as I can find to a "do it all" solution.  An unnamed Indy
driver with a Valvoline sponsor showed up  before indy with a couple of chlorox
jugs whose contents were used in the gearbox.  It was Mobil 1 and he had no
problems all month.
