I don't bring tech. knowledge to BITOG, only 45 years of experience. Many here don't want to here that, but many have let me know they do appreciate what I have learned over the years.
You never here me bash another oil and the way it performs for you guys. But I am amazed at the criticism and harsh tone many of you have against XM and their products. As I stated once" it's only oil guys".

I will add one other comment to what tig1 has said. Trust me, I know after spending over 23 years in the lubricants business that folks have their favorite brand of oil for whatever reason they believe in. We all have favorites and we all have the brands we do not like for whatever reason. But what really bothers me is what I call "thread hijacking" and "personal insults", and I don't care who thinks who started it, it's still hijacking and personal insults.
Example: Someone started a thread about why Pennzoil Platinum was so popular, and within just a few post all [censored] broke loose about how good or lousy Mobil 1 is, all about being dishonest, not believing what people see or witness, then an onslaught of insults between two particular members. To me that is uncalled for and insulting to the rest of us.
I can tell you if I owned this site the first insult would earn you a stern warning, the second insult would get you banned. I don't care if it is the internet, no one has earned the right to insult another. I have not looked at them in a while, but I believe you have to agree to a set of rules when you sign up to join this site. Either abide by the rules, or leave. I am one of the original members of BITOG and have been proud to be a member, but if the personal insults continue, I too will be GONE.
Enough said.
