Remember rule #6, don't take yourself too seriously. Also don't try to prove anything with this data and definitely don't take it too seriously, the sample size is too small and lots of these are just "single pass" UOAs. It is for fun. Here is another graph of the data that we shouldn't take too seriously but is fun to play with.
When I was in college I was required to take a course in statistics, and I was severely traumatized by the amount of work I had to put into getting a decent grade in this incredibly boring subject. Unfortunately, you now bear the brunt of my emotional scars from my school years.
I don't "like" to argue, but I am really having a hard time figuring out what the best oil is (at least for my brand new car) and I am trying to cut through all the [censored] to the truth (or least some approximation of it). The [censored] from the oil companies obviously does not help much.
Maybe I am deluding myself into thinking that I will ever figure out which oil is really the best, but it sure seems like a lot people have some fairly strong opinions about particular motor oils, that they at least believe is based on rational thinking and scientific data. Unfortunately, there is little agreement among these same people. So I ask some tough questions to see if I can figure out which people really have the answers. Don't take it personally.
