explain anti-oxidant.

anti-oxidant. This might be a stupid question, and while I generally know what one is, but is there someone that could give me an over view of what it does in an oil? I know many say Molly is used as one, well many oils here in Aust don't use Molly anymore, so what would be in it's place now? [ July 06, 2004, 01:21 PM: Message edited by: Dan4510 ]
