ebinmaine 69,255 #2 Posted November 4, 2020 Well Paul I appreciate you sharing this because those of us that are fans of pumpkin spice in general can go ahead and try to find some of it for their own usage. The next thing you know there's going to be Pumpkin Spice Flavored Gear Oil. Pumpkin Spice Flavored Antifreeze. Pumpkin Spice Flavored Grease in a tube. Honestly folks I think it's getting a little ridiculous. Why does it have to be pumpkin SPICE? WHY CAN'T IT JUST BE REGULAR PUMPKIN WITH NO SPICE? Why can't I just enjoy my old fashioned grease, oil, gear lube, antifreeze etc in the regular flavors that we've been accustomed to for years? Sure, the grease and oil leave kind of a weird tang of an aftertaste. The old school antifreeze from what I've been told is absolutely delicious.... but we had to get new stuff anyways.... Red, orange, yellow, bluish purple, whatever. How do I know my Horse is going to like these flavors? Next thing you know we're going to have peppermint shake flavored oil around St Patrick's day. That's the editorial from the desk of the Bear for today. Strictly my opinion but I do welcome yours. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your competitor says their oil will do it, you have to say yours will too. The fact is that oil is pretty much oil and how long it will go has more to do with the engine it's in than the oil itself, but the average consumer has no idea.

( although some more recent oils like Maxima Super M with castor oil are close ) Edited November 7, 2020 by tom2p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
