It's a fair question.
Personal Resume for Oil:
I worked with racing auto mechanics throughout high school, even in Formula Super Vee with special interests in suspension and lubrication. I performed independent chemistry studies in high school to find the best oil for myself. In college I had heavy schedules to cover areas of interest as theatre, nutrition, psychology, and physics but was mostly concentrating in chemistry. I later majored in biochemistry at basically a graduate level.
Next was medical school, residency, fellowship and finally private practice in plastic surgery. While in training I performed research in blood flow, rheology and the like.
Throughout my educational period I sought out and latched onto those who were involved with engine and oil development. I am an SAE member and have reviewed many articles over the years concentrating on lubrication and to a lesser extent, frames, suspension and tires.
My hobbies include electrical, plumbing, gardening and construction aspects of housing. I love metal work including welding but do most any woodwork as needed. I am a gunsmith, herpetologist, carpenter, HAM operator and a botanist among other things. I am electronically inclined with a full electronic and partial chemistry lab. I love photography. I am a home body.
I have always been a sports car buff at a mechanical level. I can take apart most cars and put them back together (with only a few left over parts of unknown significance). Currently I am in touch with the engineers from Ferrari North America, MB North America and with Lamborghini. I discuss many things including my “experiments” with varying oil viscosity usage in those high powered vehicles. I am in discussion with oil analysts to extract every once of information from a used oil analysis. Custom oils have been discussed.
It seems that motor oil development has come to a standstill today as there are few scientific papers coming out. We are instead seeing research focused on drive-line lubrication improvements. Maybe I should look more into these lubricants.
A lot can be learned here:

I watch minimal TV or movies and travel infrequently. I read a lot. And I spend time on the internet as in BITOG. There is a lot of knowledge here but you have to be careful.
