Gee, Avi... I think I can speak on behalf of majority of listers that it's
impossible to draw ANY sort of conclusion from this post! From what I see,
this post would make more sense if the word "oil" is replaced with "ice
cream" and the various engine (and parts) are replaced by "farmers" (and
the family), and replace the title with "Studies on Mid-west Farmers'
Efficiencies while on Ice Cream Diet."

Avi, if you want to convince ME on how synth oil does par or worse than
dino oil, you better do a better (in fact, A LOT better) post than this!
