Luap may have to consider a moratorium on oil threads ;D Dusty
I think this is why there is a message that comes up if you resurrect a thread over 6 months old. P:)You mean we really needed to bring a dead, 3-year-old oil thread back to life in the middle of the winter? :PI suppose it's not hurting anyone, but some of those questions like "What do I do if I need 10W60 oil on a trip and I can't find it?" .... well, watch me follow my own advice and let it drop! ;-T
... after replying, of course . . .;-T P:) ~;
Not only that, but replying TWICE, once to make the point and once to respond to "Hey, YOU replied." :DSometimes that's why threads can never end. Nobody wants to think that someone else got "the last word in". Now I'M in the "last word" hot seat, unless someone else just can't resist ... ~;Lannis
Interesting snippet from Bob's site regarding esters. Esters bond to the metal surfaces if the metal is positively charged. So, let's scrap all electrics and convert to positive ground.
What is synthetic oil? Is it oil or is it something not made from oil and if it is made from oil why is it called synthetic oil? So what the hell is it?
Great information. Very interesting, so fully syn oil totally man made product, never knew that.I bet 90 percent of people who post on these oil threads don't have a clue as to what it is. LOL
Short story follow what the current recommendations are from the manufacturer and read oil threads for entertainment.
This is the easiest to follow and most sensible bit of advice I've ever seen in an oil thread!
I agree; but you need to follow the rules. Oil threads should never be contaminated by logical advice or facts.
Well, to be truthful, it's not SO much more "man-made" than "regular" oil.You still have to extract hydrocarbons (petroleum in a wide sense) from the ground (pump it out of a well) and process it via chemical reactions to produce the end-product. Just a different process with "synthetics".
