Oil specs comparisions 2005

[1 FMF]

I am going to try and copy & paste in my oil comparison data. Hopefully it's readable, and enjoyable.

Data was gathered January 5, 2005 from manufacturer's data posted on websites, unless otherwise noted.
Some data from website's also have dates of their own and are noted.

100C and 40C columns are viscosity in centistokes;
Pour & flash points are in degrees Fahrenheit;
Cold Crank Simulator (CCS) are at degrees Centigrade;
ASTM method is listed below column name when available;
---- or ? or blank space in column means data not available.

Nice to have a handy synopsis of EM's popular offerings. While a flash point of 392 F. is nothing to be ashamed of for the DC 5W-20 - 10W-30 blends, I'm surprised it isn't over 400 F. since it's been speculated extensively that they're now using 100% Group III base stocks.

there were some misprints in data, and are highlighted by <>. In one case, viscosity at 100C was 165. Obviously a mistake, most likely should be 16.5. In some cases a correction could be guessed at, others couldn't and data was out.
