ARGHHH, I hate when that Happens I remember one time cruising around at 5,000 and hearing the GKKK, KKKKGNG, GGGGRRKKK and coming to an Abrupt stop, looked over the side and saw the Bilge Pump pumping out this Red Sh*t...I'm thinking what the heck is that??? Well it's the 2 Gallons of Amsoil Synthetic... Very Sad Feeling I Feel Your Pain
