Re: Good read on Oil.

I once sent in a sample of oil from a GM engine that had severely overheated the oil on the road course, no oil cooler on the car and his oil overheat light came on multiple times and he didn't stop racing. The oil smelled absolutely horrible. In the results, they said the oil was still fine, but there the metal content was a little high, so it should probably be changed. I guess they didn't read the note that the motor blew up and there was a hole the size of a football in the side of the block from the forged rods going through it after the oil failed and spun the bearings enough to seize it.
