"hey that's a pretty good set of pleats, it would have been a great filter, pity I fracked it up"
Some suggested forum topics for the oil boards:
"Can I use vegetable oil in my car?"
"Is oil necessary?"
"Installed a Mac Mini in my SUV - do I need to change the kind of oil I use?"
"Best oil for a closet homosexual who is married with three children and very much afraid of his father-in-law who works for a major oil company whose name I shall not reveal here?"
"Popeye or Brutus - who should Olive Oyl choose?"
"Oil recipes"
Of course, it just had to be an American site...

A most amusing thread 
My parents just gave me strange looks for bursting out laughing again for no apparent reason.
Like... Dishwashing Liquid?
Be a dear and let me know if they think it's a possibility... Could be a big saving for me, you know

I am shocked by your blatant lack of respect for oil and must insist that you are BANNED from MacRumors forever!

Actually they cut open the filters AFTER they have been through an interval, which tends to be messy at times.
dogbone, I am honored to have you post in this thread.

"hey those pleats are crap, I've probably destroyed my valve stems"
Shrug. Count me in as one of those 13,000 oil members (I'm not really one never heard of the forum) but I'm just trying to say, I could see the appeal.
If you love your other machine as much as you'd love a Mac, why not debate and talk shop about what's best for the internals?
Guess that's just me though, after dealing w/ my car/bike-obsessed friends.

That's what a reknowned master technician and mechanics teacher says. Mm hmm. I take that man's word for it. It makes sense, hell, there's only a couple of battery manufacturing places-- most batteries we buy (like Duracell, Energizer, etc.) and non-brand ones come out of those same few factories.pseudobrit said:

Well ...
Actually, there ARE differences in oil. Not enough to really worry about and generally related to the additives.
My friend works in the auto industry and periodically tells me the results of the studies done by SAE, of which he is a member.

I ALWAYS put at least 10W-30 in my salad dressing. It goes down smoother when I eat it, usually while reading about the latest Merom rumors.bousozoku said:
As a BITOG member and someone who has a few hundred thousand miles across a few different vehicles of Mobil 1 changed at 10K intervals(started doing that before I was a BITOG member) this ancient thread has been an interesting read.
