@Tom400CFI coming in hot with his first posts on the forum.

Perhaps we can have the title changed to "Coming in hot!"

No kidding? What was "hot"? No attacking here, no name calling, no insults...I thought everything that I posted was pretty straightforward and unoffensive. IDK. Sorry for agreeing w/the OP? I guess?

I also agree with the guy who just posted about cleaning hunny buckets...that'd suck.

A few of those guys have gone on to have successful careers with Blue Man Group.

Do you also agree with this?

Not trying to correct you but manufacturers variations come from the winter vs summer viscosity. That’s what the W stands for is wetherand that has to do with atmospheric pressure the change That cold weather does to it.

I read years ago that a multi viscosity oil was not multi viscosity at all. Take a 10w40,the oil has the viscosity(pourability)of a 10 weight but the shear strength and wedge capability of a 40 weight and maintains that capability with increase in temperature whereas a straight weight oil would have the viscosity,shear and wedge of a 40 weight when cool but lose those attributes as it warmed up.
I think it may have been the same article where I read that synthetic motor oil is not a man made synthetic. It is crude oil that has been homogenized so that all the molecules are the same size. According to that guy the molecules of regular ol oil are different diameters(yup,oil molecules are round)so a moving part is only lubricated by the larger molecules. By homogenizing the oil and making all the molecules the same size the moving part is being supported by more molecules. Sounds good huh! The thing is I'm seeing the same amount of wear over the same time and conditions as good ol crude.

You guys ought to go to Kodiak Island during Herring Season. The boats delivered the herring to the docks in about a 15% brine solution. Then the cannery brings it up to 100% brine to soften up the herring carcass so they can rip out the roe without damaging the pouches (skanes?). The roe is brined again, dried out, and shipped to places like Japan (it actually tasted pretty good). A company known as Bio-Dry (or something like that) used the carcasses for dog food filler but, their plant was too small to keep up with the production so, we had 1000s of plastic 4'X4'X2' totes full of rotten fish stacked all over up and down the streets by the docks.
The whole island stunk during Herring Season and 3 weeks after.
Then we'd buy new clothes with a part of our crew share.
