Oil Article(s) from Blackstone Lab Everyone

[GhostFlame]

I'l l bet 67.9% of everyone here reads these threads and, like me, says high TBN, Low TAN, Zinc, etc has not 1 clue as to what is being discussed. I am tired of being ignorant so I found some simple articles that give some understanding of for what and where all you Babylonians speak. Should be required reading for all BITOGers http://www.blackstone-labs.com/do-i-need-a-tbn.php

I just read the flash point topic. IMO flash point and volatility are related because fuel diluted oil burns off faster. Also, synthetic oil has a has a higher fp number than dino has, so the fp number or the volatility number for virgin oil is a way to determine the class or quality of the base oils used in a finished product. Why do dino 5w-30 tests from PQIA of current api SN oils show higher volatility than older api SM and SL showed?
