    Thanks but can you be more specific on exactly what to mark and how many turns etc. Thanks Long Island boat. Any idea what the ratio means ?? As far as engine size matching up? I have always thought the 1-5-1- is for a V8. ?? Charlie

    Chainsaw cutting lube in a pinch

    My only other lube option I had that day was to use extra virgin olive oil that my wife uses often and I believe she would have choked me out if I used it.I stay out of that part of the pantry. Charlie
