Admittedly I likely do not. I wish I could say it's because I don't work with the subjects, but I think part of it was I was pushed along. Freshman classes in college was quite a wake up call for me.

Anyway, I wanted to mimic the Toyota chart for the LS430 tranny drain and fills, for a GM vehicle. I stared at the chart for 5 min., before I could grasp the underlying concept. Then it finally clicked.

Of course conventional wisdom was the say, do it 3X, but the numbers were different. And on this one, you are throwing away 5 qts., to the LS' 2.5, so to go beyond 3 drain/fills gets expensive. Then again the Toyota WS is pretty expensive too....

Physics and chem people are laughing I know....but to create a similar grid as below, copying the format from Toyota, it was difficult to work backwards, and easier to understand then create a new grid. Such is life...

I remember my high school history teacher kind of propagandizing us that the civil war wasn't fought over slavery, it was fought over states rights and southerners defending their home. About a year later I studied this more in depth in college and kind of came to the conclusion that she was teaching a rather false narrative, of the heroic south being bullied by the north.

When you cut down to it though, it was a war against a way of life, a war against the southern aristocracy who was in open rebellion with the government in Washington DC. The central core to that way of life in all its facets, politically, socially, economically was slavery. I will say though that she was right about the southern soldiers though. They didn't fight to support this southern aristocracy who owned all the land, it wasn't about keeping the blacks in their place, there was a ****ing hostile army in their backyards, pillaging, looting and raping their lands and women.

Now what was this thread about again????
