Yeah, Dimitrios, I do use Rainex.  I had never heard of a speed /
effectiveness correlation made before.  Of course I should have expected a
"more speed" answer, coming from you!  :-)  (Joke meant in the nicest way.)

I am using 20/50 weight oil now, by the way.  I was using el cheapo straight
40W before.  I can't help - it's a Scottish thing - thinking I am simply
paying double the cost to pollute the country side, but I may be making nice
to my engine on these colder days, and put off the evil day I have to yank
the engine just a little longer.
