Too much drama?

Time for this BUFFOON to go back to school and get re-educated. I must have forgot half of everything I learned.

Never knew it was the same thing as recycling. I guess recycling oil is the same a REFINING.

Have fun, it was great while it lasted

Batterys are rated at a ambient temp of around 65 degrees , I found the hard way that optima blues dont like heat under a hatch with poor ventalation you may find fully charged they are only 70 percent or less in the heat . You never really no how good a battery is until you max the load and see what it does , just cause it lasts for years doesnt mean its a high quality unit . It still may turn over your blown injected rat in 120 degree heat at 70 percent output but there are other batteries that the ambient temp does not affect as much, Interstate is one of them .
