Hey all you water jockeys- Got a question for ya. Have not heard anybody
talkin bout this one lately. With winterizing coming and gear lube flying around and such. Well hear we go: When you drain your crank case oil from your motor you can take it to the auto parts store to dump it into a big
tank or drum. All's good no problem! But what do you do with gear lube?
Send it to the same grave as the motor oil??? And will the use of fogging oil cause your plugs to foul? Or can they be cleaned and reused next season?
Would it make sense to keep an older set-o-plugs for the fogging process?

Thanks for the quick responses! Popeye would be proud of ya! I figured that since just about everybody dumps different grades and weights of motor oil into those disgard drums and tanks at the auto parts stores that you could just make a "lube cocktail" and dump her in ! Stirred not shaken of coarse!
and hold the olives please . leave that to Popeye..... :eek::D:)


Sea Hag - out!:):)
