Greasings and Lubrications, All...
I once thought I had a basic understanding of the properties
of ordinary multi-weight oil...and over the last week I have unlearned
all I thought I ever knew. :*)
So...I look in the owners manual and put what the book says

Ahhhhh-HEMP! We do not salt our roads. In winter storms we do

The amout of rust on any vehicle in Georgia is a reflection of the
owner, not the environment. In general, the amount of rust is inversely
proportional to the number of natural teeth in the owners mouth. ie:
the more teeth...the less rust.
The accurate paradymn for Georgia rust would be more than
California...(it does rain here) but MUCH MUCH less than states where
the populace are required to druge to work in the snow. 'Daisy' the
Half Done, Still, Yellow Car had rust in all the 'normal' places
but most of that was due to being abandoned under an oak tree by the PO,
without the top and the battery in the trunk.
I wonder if the guy had teeth.
