I added this lube comment to the Small Block posts about crosses recently but thought it more appropriate for this section so here it is in a perhaps more appropriate section regarding oils for engines and gearboxes. I have recently changed lubricants. I had, last time, perhaps against my gut feeling used Eni lubes in both engine and gearbox. This time I used Silkolene 10/60 Pro in the engine and 85/90 Silkolene Medium Gearbox oil in the box. And I can swear that the motor feels sweeter and the transmission smoother. Is this my imagination or a placebo effect?

V7 Classic Black and gold was the best. But green & black was nice too. Now blue is in!
