Amsoil

[Bernie Benz]

I said principal use, not the only use.  If cooling were not an issue, a lub
system could be designed using only a pint.  Interfacing between moving
metal parts does not break down oil, heat does, and 95% of the heat that the
oil is subject to is heat of combustion, not friction.
