    I have always called it, and heard it called "engine oil"...:hmmm:

    I have heard it called "motor oil" before, but it's not common. At least not in my surroundings.:huh:

    All my cars have both!

    Learned long time ago meaning of engine an motor.

    Motor has been picked up as a "slang" word for engine. Sometimes us "motorheads" just have to say motor when were talking about a engine.

    My point exactly.

    I have never heard of a 'motorhead'... :huh: (unless you mean the band)

    I am what is called a 'gearhead'.

    Google it:
    Results 1 - 10 of about 932,000 for gearhead.
    Results 1 - 10 of about 3,560,000 for motorhead. I think I'll pull them all up and see what they say when I get home.
