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!
