Fluid forum? yes? no? maybe so?

I spent alot of time thinking about the message boards here and I think it's important to know what kind of fluids to put in your car. Some people know fluids. others don't. I was wondering if maybe we could start a forum on fluids for this site. It would cover every liquid that goes in your car. from octane questions to dex-coolant to synthetic oils and little tricks and tidbits like how you can use tranny fluid in your power steering but, you can't use power steering in your tranny. Some newbies might actually find a forum like that useful. what do you guys think? admin and Mods feel free to elaborate.

p.s. I truly think it's a good useful idea that can contribute to the site so please be cool about your answers...unless you think I'm a drunk then go ahead and vote on that.

p.s.s. it's a multiple choice poll in case anyone agrees but, still thinks I'm a drunk.

engine oil in the engine tech board

tranny and rear fluid in the tranny/driveline board.

coolant in the cooling board.

i think a new board wouldnt really help to much, just my thought.

keep thing separate which we have now and it seems to work nicely.

ok. I just figured it would be easier to round up all the fluid questions and plaster them into a forum of their own.
