inDAE still torque to the old spec because the new number feels wrong in your hands?

inAlmost lost a whole box of Gamblin oils to my hot car trunk last Tuesday
Toss a few reusable ice packs in a small cooler bag and keep the oils in there, it buys you a couple hours even in Phoenix heat. The soft tubes usually firm back up in the fridge overnight, so don't chuck them just yet. Just check the caps are tight first or you'll get oil smeared all over the ice pack.
