no sir..
the first number ( 5 ) represents the viscosity at low temperature.. the second number (30) represents the viscosity at higher temperature. motor oil is what is described as multi viscosity

and contrary to popular belief, the W does not stand for Weight.. it stands for "winter"

be careful, people on boost....
coming home saturday morning, a semi-quick 1-2 shift resulted in snapping the spider gears in the differential.. pushed the car 6 blocks, then towed it to my shop.. dropped the transmission yesterday afternoon and cracked it open.. not much left to the differential.
i have another transmission in transit now, should have the car back together tomorrow afternoon, but unfortunately i'm losing my wonderfully tall gears that the ECHO transmission had. i'm gonna miss that trans

i'll be pushing the clutch like regular.. the clutch switch will supply the power to the "shift" signal (car won't shift unless clutch is depressed)
