Aaaah, so this is nuclear physics here - we're talking about radioactive 
compounds!   If, as Scott says (and you know Scott is one of those few 
who is always right :-) the K&N filter oil lasts forever, but it is 
half gone after ten years, then it seems that K&N filter oil must have a 
half life of 10 years!  Wow!  I really did learn a few things in Physics 101!
