Wow. Ive never got on an oil debate thread before,and glad of it.Now I cant stay away,its like watching a slow motion train wreck,cant look away.

This rates right up there with religion,how to raise your kids,how to run your marriage,how to live your life,its got all that and more in one topic.

Im thinking it must be because there really are no hard numbers that you can base a choice on.They are different,we know that.

In cooking we have corn oil,canola oil,olive oil,coconut oil,lard,duck fat and a ton more.yet cooks can all be in almost universal agreement on which to use in which food with almost no debate because we have numbers and we can see concrete results in how they perform.

None of that available for motor oils.So we are left with opinions based on whatever we want to base it on.Cant see where thats going to be a problem,LOL!

Amazing! Last oil thread Im ever opening on this topic! I need to go tell my SIL how to run her life.Yeah,that'll work!
