I found this a Lexus Owner's Forum and thought it had some interesting information.

Intersting site. I have a lot to learn about oil.

I've been hanging out there for about 2 years. There is a LOT of information there but be warned, it's a lot of petroleum engineers arguing about which neutron affects that neuron, in other words, engineer speeek!



But, if you wade through it there IS a lot of good info!

I have an engineering degree, but really haven't used it in 15 years. However, my degree wasn't chemical, and those guys are serious.



I'm a big fan of pull back on the stick (houses get small) push forward on the stick (houses get big). Flying airplanes has a tendency to kick most of the other penguins off of the iceburg.

Yes I agree. And it's REALLY over the head of most of the stuff-shirts on the Lexus Owners Forums. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> ("My mechanic accidentally added two quarts of regular oil and my Lexus uses synthetic? Should I change it before the engine blows up?" AND "I checked with my mechanic who tells me that Synthetic oil is magnetized & will stay up top and cling to everything possibly tricking the oil warning light even with dangerously low oil levels.")
