Oil thread sticky

How about it? We allways sigh and whine when they come up. It's allways the same; "I use this oil", "this oil has zink and high TBN" bla bla. The fact is that we drive the most durable engine/tranny combinations on the planet which makes this subject even more obsolete (as long as you use properly rated oil). A sticky would make it easy for a newbie to get the info quick.

We won't have a sticky for an oil thread.

Oil is all about personal choice.

Use what you want.

A sticky is "supposed" to be for useful information. {I think we know how badly that is abused} Oil choices are preferences. Kind of a "let me tell you why I'm so much smarter than you" seems to get started.
So, you were really sitting around and thought that would be a good idea?? Uh, keep trying......
