So I bought some OEM Yanmar gear oil to change out the final drive lube.
They specify GL4 and I usually use Valvoline GL4-GL5 oil but since it was not
expensive I bought the OEM stuff.

Had I known that using this magical oil in my excavators travel motors would also keep my engine running smooth,clean, quiet and with less emissions I would have never used that Valvoline garbage.

I find it funny that the label has to tell you how to treat putting it your eye, inhaling it or drinking it. How often has that happened that the lawyers had to get involved and do you think those people actually read the label? Natural selection at work.

My father passed away on April 1 years ago, he aways had a odd sense of humor.
