I have to check my notes, but my real concern is my old 911. If memory serves me, and it doesn't serve me very well at times, hee hee, 1200-1400 seems to be the required range. A few others have mentioned the Mobil1 Vtwin stuff, which I plan to do more reading up on. I've read, having enough is very important, but too more than is needed, isn't a really good way to go either.
Decisions, decisions!! Isn't life grand, running old bangers.
