Motor Oil University on the main page has been Updated!

A big thank you goes out to all who contributed to this effort: MolaKule, Jetronic, Shannow, HTSS_TR, BrucLuno, 69GTX, CT8, DWC28, FowVay, 2015_PSD, Quattro Pete, WWillson and everyone else that has made this happen. I know that for many of you, it has been a desire to see this update for many years.

I also can't say enough about the BITOG staff who provide us with this great site and turns our ongoing discussions into useful information for all the internet to see.

I second Molakule's thanks.

Extraordinary amount of voluntary work that you have put in, to the great benefit of the board.

Thanks.
 
Thanks to the experts that rewrote M.O.101!

You may want to know that I found a misspelling on the first page (bolded)

The problem is that if you started at 10cSt then as the engine gets hotter (which they do) then your oil would be much to thin when the engine gets up to operating temperature.


Should be "too".

It was long over due...

Now we have a good initial reference for the average Joe to start into the world of automotive lubrication
