Yea, I hate it when that happens. These South Texas winters can be pretty brutal too. This morning I could see my breath it was so cold. I almost broke out a jacket until I realized it's going to be in the 70's today.

Bravo! Too bad there aren't many women who visit this site (I suspect). I have copied both pieces and will forward them. Thanks again.

Another interesting quote on the subject of gravity and matter; "There is a still more remarkable possibility, which is the creation of matter from a state of zero energy. This possibility arises because energy can be both positive and negative. The energy of motion or the energy of mass is...

Sorry Mark, No offense intended. It's just when people start talking about women in skimpy clothes, my mind gets cloudy. As far as gravity being the polar opposite of matter, here is an interesting quote from Hawking; "The total energy of the universe is exactly zero. The matter in the...

Some physicists think that gravity is the polar opposite of matter. Some think anti-matter is the polar opposite of matter. I think I'll leave work early, have a beer, and think about Mark's wife in something skimpy.

I use SuperTech oil and have had good results comfirmed by UOA. http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=001172 It's my opinion that if a dino oil passes the minimum requirements for the API SL rating, it is just fine for anything but extreme conditions. The...

I have an oiless Craftsman compressor and the piston is made from Ultra High Density Polyethelene (UHDPE). UDHPE is claimed to be 10X more wear resistant than mild steel in an unlubricated sliding friction application. It also has a low friction coefficient so the motor doesn't have to work as hard.

Regardless of the manufacturer, the oil still would have to pass the minimum requirements of the SL rating. If it is SL rated, it is more than adequate for the majority passenger cars in North America. Granted, some people may need an oil with a more robust additive package or synthetic base...

Your son looks like he types just like me! He's a good looking boy!

Did you see Al Sharpton on Saturday Night Live? He really is funny! I don't care much for his politics but he's not a bad comedian.

After looking at some of the uoa's of the cheap Supertech oil, it's my opinion that though there may be minuscule differences in viscosities and additive packages, SL rated dino oil is SL rated dino oil. It is very unlikely that anyone would get longer engine life by switching from Supertech to...

I'm suggesting that the thinner viscosity at startup IS the reason he got lower wear, not in spite of it. Sorry if I wasn't clear. Sometimes things that sound clear in my head don't come out that clear.

What I meant was the 0W-30 would have a lower viscosity at startup compared to the 5W-30 (even though the GC 0W-30 has a slightly higher viscosity at operating temp than the 5W-30). That seems even more important given Patman's geography in the Great White North. A difference of about 2 cSt at...

Are you sure it was the higher viscosity at full temp that caused the lower wear? Could it have been the lower viscosity at start up with the 0W-30?

I thought the report was just fine considering how this van is used. As far as using a thicker oil, maybe. However, the oil is very rarely ever brought up to full temp because of the short trips so the viscosity that the engine sees is usually much higher than the viscosity @ 210 deg F. I'm sure...
