My sister has lived there since the '60s and says ooh, we love it. I've

Ah... probably M189 and variants. M180 and variants don't have a flat

friction.

Culver's is a chain that was spun off from their original stores in Wisconsin.
If you can imagine, NOTHING such as frozen custard or their famous butter

In other words, if you're watching your calories, don't go to Culver's.

Oh, and unless they have changed things, Steak 'n' Shake uses a concoction

I think it varies for a certain value of good.
Need your 61x car to start reliably at -10F? It probably wants 0w40.
Want your car to burn/leak as little oil as possible? 0w40 is probably not a
good choice.
I ran my '83 240D for many miles with 0w40 in it when I was living in an
apartment and
I run 15w50 in my '78 240D in the winter time, it starts easier than with

I emailed Mobil when the CF designation was dropped and they said they'd done

I haven't done much testing with 15w50, I
You're wrong, I said according to my testing the formula for 5w40 is basically

Ok so the oil analyses were for the lighter weight oils and the
letter about the CF was for 15w50? But the end result is still that
the 15-50 is still ok for OM 61x even though the CF was dropped.
5w-40 for below zero weather. Is that a fair statement?
You're wrong, I said according to my

Culver's Chocolate Shake has chocolate flavored syrup and vanilla custard
mix. Though I like their burgers and cheese curds, I generally skip the
shakes.
Last time I got a shake at Steak 'n Shake it seemed to have real banana in
there, but maybe the chocolate is fake too.
