Esteemed Listers,
                I am in the process of having a T-245 engine rebuilt for my M37 when
the question arose: "What grade motor oil do you want in it ?" Out of
habit I replied "Straight thirty weight". Simultaneously it occurred to
me that such a question would be perfect for the knowledge and opinions
of this list.

                Differentiating between quarter-ton jeeps; three-quarter ton trucks;
duce-and-a-halfs and five tons; what grade of oil would you recommend for
each vehicle, and why ?? Crank in temperature differences from
Maine's five below zero ( -21 Celsius )
to Arizona's one hundred and ten ( 43 Celsius ).
