When I erroneously diverted this thread to lubrication,
please note that I said "REAL mechanics".
I did NOT say "PROFESSIONAL mechanics".
Holding a job, such as at a dealership,
does not, in and of itself quarantee competence.
I was once a professional mechanic
(and wrote the book on Honda cars (ISBN:0912528257))
I aspired towards becoming a REAL mechanic.
