I was really hoping for another oil thread,you know,one where a couple of people bash a couple of other people's opinions and credentials and stuff...sigh.....

Your opinion is silly and you have no education, training or experiences that give you the right to say such a thing.... and, your stuff is weak.
We should have a contest to see how many words can be substituted for the word 'oil' in Paul's monograph above:
Xxx is good. Some xxx is better than no xxx. New xxx is better than old xxx. Good xxx is better than bad xxx.
I'd go first, but at the moment all my examples would get me banned from the forum... and I changed the last bit to: Bad xxx is better than good xxx.
<sigh> Another great group hug - wasted.....
Yes, and you'll note if you want the full SAE article I linked to, you have to pay for it.
Mostly on the Internet for sure we get what we pay for.
And, you could note that the article linked provides DATA that today's motor oils become better lubricators the longer they remain in use. Radical, right?
It goes to "time out" in a steel mesh encased 300 gallon tank at the recycling center where it hangs out with all of its miscreant friends.
Many that have been around for a while know that Rob and I were very close and were riding/wrenching partners on the 11RS. We discussed oil - among other things - a lot. We both ran Mobil 1 for 15,000 miles in 2000. Every 5,000 miles - religously - I changed oil and filter [BMW filter]. Rob replaced only the filter and topped his oil back up - also at 5,000 miles. At the end of 15,000 miles, we both sent samples of our oils to Blackstone Labs for analysis. The results were very close to the same. Becasue we really weren't thinking when we started, we failed to get starting reports for a comparison.Not to resurrect ghosts from the past, but I'm pretty sure that I recall Rob Lentini writing about maintenance procedures for the F15 or F14 which included draining the oil, changing the oil filter, filtering the oil and reusing it.
However, with that being said, I would much sooner hear how Aikens and henzilla will meld the group hug and xxx threads into one.
I'm hoping for some help from Mrs. Glaves on this. Paul is getting better? Right?

After which it becomes fuel oil and is burnt...

Don't be silly. None of us know squadoodle about oil.Well I did think I know a little bit about oil since I have been changing it pretty regularly,by myself or sometimes paying others,for over 40 years;but now I see that AKBeemer has completely unmasked me and I am but a tyro.Not a pyro.I swan in the face of superior stuff.
FWIW, a brand new Merc. Benz comes with recycled oil in the engine. How many miles is it until the first oil change? Something like 600 miles, if I remember correctly.
It's a brand new Fuchs synthetic.
There is the law, then there is the reality that it gets various "treatments" while much still goes into our rivers, landfills & various other actually unknown places around the planet-sadly much used oil in the USA goes into the environment.Perhaps oil
