get real HV oil... What you want to do is find a "jobber" (i.e. someone who
sells more than quarts but less than tank trucks).  Shell Diala AX or
Exxon(?) Univolt 65 are two likely candidates.  Should cost about $5/gallon
in 5 gallon pails.  It WILL take some calling around, so get those yellow
pages out.
