Russ is what we would call a "drive by" troll. He just pops in, makes a post that is guaranteed to cause trouble, then he disappears off into the night.

Now if you see consistent high numbers from one oil, say in the 100-200 ppm range, than you can start to draw a trend.
And you keep taking the bait.quote:

The problem is that every post he's made is basically insulting our intelligence on here. His very first post when he got here was to attack Bob's filter testing. That got him started off on the wrong foot big time!!quote:

You are correct, but a big part of the problem is that Russ makes these posts, but then doesn't stick around to further defend his position at all. And yes, we definitely do like to have differing opinions around here, but it just seems like all of his posts are disguised as subtle attacks against all of us on here, like he is somehow better than all of us. UOAs are a huge part of this site, so for someone to come on here and basically tell us (if you read between the lines) that we're all idiots for believing when we see lower ppm in our reports, it just doesn't sit well with us.quote:

As a very new member, but one who has read the board for a while, one thing I've noticed is that there are lots of differing opinions posted. Why attack this one? IMO some folks are a little too touchy. Seems to me that a little diversity of opinion is good. Makes us think!
But he is wrong though, and Terry would back me up on this.quote:

No, I believe his post is saying that the wear data from UOAs are useless for comparing different brands of oil--even the folks at Redline and Blackstone have made similar statements in the past.

How do I get an oil anaylsis?
I am running synthetic and would like to get it anaylzed, then switch to conventional and see which is better in my vehicle.
Anyone?
