Thanks for that - their forums are unique in that the posters actually know a bit about oils.

And it would seem that that precludes you from posting on oil threads outside their forum.

Yeah, good stuff on oil, but not very accurate off topic:

"If the thickness of oil was 10 when you got in your car in the morning and 10 while driving it would be perfect. You would not have to warm up your engine. You could just get in the car and step on the gas. There would be little wear and tear on you engine, almost none. Unfortunately the world is not perfect."

Apparently, the controlled expansion of metal parts as they heat up is not an issue in Bob's world. In Bob's world oil is the only thing that changes as it heats up.

Yeah, things can go pear-shaped on any web-based forum, even with the best of intentions and the most dilligent of moderators . . . however, in this instance i wasn't endorsing the site, merely providing the address.

It's certainly not unwise, but it won't stop the leaks.
