that. There's a YouTube video of a guy who does a pretty scientific

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Also seem to
remember an article I read about oil. Synthetic has perfectly round

because they act like little ball bearings against each other. Also
didn't break down as fast as Dinosaur oil, which is a bit more anarchic in
structure. </span>
