The name WeenieWagun came from a play on words from one of the other forums I frequent, WAguns. We would refer to one of the moderators Tahoe's as a glorified station wagun, word play on wagon....and when it came time for my projects, I found my screen name, and type of vehicle fit, so...

I was gifted some 80W90 from a buddy that works on a ship.. couple 5 gallon pails of the good stuff... so I'm good to go on draining and refilling axles, trans, etc.
Ordered some full synthetic 15w40. It has a really robust additive package, but I'm gonna mix it 50/50 with conventional, so...
They are exempt, thus, comply with FMVSS.
But, it's MSP....
If the vehicles are owned by a company, open an 'office' in another state and title them there.
Because I just got 6 8Ds for free.... and I'm trying to put them to good use. The Group 31s in there are unknown/questionable, since they're 5 years old at least, and the truck has been sitting for about that long..
