[ST] FYI - OIL

I don't know where this came from.  I just received it in my email.
Thought, if anything, it makes for interesting reading.

     WHY does every - Jet Fighter Engine - use it exclusively?
     
     The Best Keep U.S. Military Maintenance SECRET

     First turbo-prop and then jet aircraft engines raised the bar on what
was 
required of a lubricant. The Extreme high speed, high heat and cold 
temperature performance requirements of those aircraft engines created a 
demand for new kinds of lubricants...

     That have gone from exotic to mainstream because... those very same
kind 
of high-protection and high-performance lubricant BENEFITs are NOW a 
Necessity, NOT a Luxury for our modern complex automotive mechanical 
components.    

    WHY has the mighty GM Corvette required synthetic (GM 4718 M) motor oil 
to maintain warranty requirements since 1991.

    ALSO - The Oil Change Mistake That Cost Mercedes-Benz 32 Million 
Dollars - A U.S District Court Judge in Philadelphia Has awarded a 32
million 
dollar class action settlement to American owners of Mercedes-Benz vehicles 
due to the company's failure to specify the use of synthetic motor oil with
its 
Flexible Service System (FSS).  Many Mercedes-Benz motorist who used 
conventional oil experienced premature engine wear problems.

     Today conventional lubricants provide marginal protection for modern 
complex engines and transmissions  most of the time - but there's a big 
difference between marginal failure prevention - and total wear
protection... 
The Choice is Yours...

BAD - LAMINAR Flow 

GOOD - TURBULENT Flow

Film-Strength = Wear Protection

Four Ball Wear Test = Wear Protection Test
