5 year old oil

William
You really do have your panties in a knot! Fair dink...what is with you?

Good on ya Willem...hows the Flinders?

Sparky

I think that he was quietly saying to himself "How the hell are we going to eat all these nuts?"......They were in a rush and there wasn't time for the Prickly's...just a quick cuppa.

We still got plenty of nuts!!!!!!!! Haven't harvested this years crop yet.

Willem, Andrew & Jen told us all about your famous"nuts" when they called in for a coffee on Friday. We might have to call in for a test taste in July when we go through.....................I love nuts...............LOL
Karen & Geoff

Geoff and Karen...If you are as nice as Andrew and Jen and family you are most welcome. If not, just come anyway. Our house is always open and we have many visitors staying over or passing through.....that is, if we are home. Just don't flash your Exploroz Card here like one cheeky bugger did !!!!

Should still have some nuts left over by July.

Cheers

Well Willem, between you and me,(don't tell Andrew) Andrew & Jen & kids are lovley people, so friendly and polite. But can I just say, we are even nicer people again..................LOL. mmmmmmmmm well actually, no we are probably about equal, but don't tell Andrew, OK! LOL.
Karen

I was only friendly and polite because I was sooooo tired from driving 1500 k's in about 30 hours. I am not normally like that. After meeting Karen, I would have to assume that Geoff is a special guy.......(now what way do you take that..... hahahaha)
Andrew

Yes Andrew, which way do I take that................LOL. Yeah he would have to be special to put up with me.........Bloody special.............LOL
Karen

Hey Richard!

Oil samples...hahahahaha.....maybe for those softie trucks you drive but my truck is a real machine made from steel and not plastic and silicone like yours. I doubt if the G60 gearboxes will ever wear out.

The ppm on the drain plug magnet was about 3mm thick and stood up like a punk hairstyle. Stuck my finger inside the box and it felt clean on the floor. The truck will probably outlive me!!!

Geez willem
if they can build houses and Ocean Going Pure Luxurious Yachts with silicone and plastic then its good enough for me....call me a softie if you will but i dont mind comfort!!!

Get with the times willem...regular oil analysis will show up wear up tear....which can prevent a more severe breakdown and hence keep repair costs to a minimum, not to mention the increased assurance when travelling remote areas....sounds good doesnt it hehehe

But honestly we use them in our industy for the larger compressors and the analysis is very accurate once a rew regular samples are plotted onto a graph. Larger trucking companies use them as well.

As for the 3mm of gunk....are you sure it wasnt some of your hair

Ahhhhh.......rolande...we can but dream....my lubrication days are over alas..............the gearbox is a Datto Truck 5 speed built by Marks Conversions. The old G60 doesn't need so many gearchanges and can idle around town in 4th gear.

And to think, I used to dream about an all-synchro Celica 5 speed in the G60!
Rolande

Bilbo...yes I had only done 110,000km on the oil. Was prety black though and time for a change.....methinks :-) Must look at the diffs sometime.
