Insolubles? Oxidation? Huh? Was the sample bottle contaminated?
It's certainly a 40 weight according to my chart, even though it is a light 40 weight.
The insolubles and oxidation though?

i had opened the bottle previously and put a sample in the freezer. would that have led to the "oxidation" taking place?
Why is the calcium so loooow???

are calcium/magnesium interchangeable?
1ppm Mg has the same molarity as 1.67ppm Ca; the atomic weight of Mg is 24, Ca 40. PPMs are by weight. They are both divalent cation alkaline earth metals

I've read a lot of your post with great interest for the past few months, so now I must ask, what do you do for a living. Are you a chemist or tribologist?

No, I'm just an ordinary MD; except I have a BA in physics and among my reading hobbies are geology, physics and now lube oils.
But thanks for the compliment.

Well, that makes you smarter than the average bear and almost dangerous.
What part of Alaska are you in? The Anchorage area?

I'm different than Dr Haas. I'm a GP. But my most expensive vehicle might be up in his range - the 1st one in my signature.

I never thought of Physics as as Art?
BTW Charlie I spent a few years in AK myself growing up. (up in FAI). I do miss it sometimes.

And the price just seems to keep going up.
Schaeffers is starting too look better all the time.
