If I recall correctly, you said some data existed about the differences in these oils and possibly petro-based oils. I haven't really looked for any such data. But, can you tell me where to get that info? I like to keep informed on such things and it may help me select a more suitable motor oil. You can Email me directly if you prefer. Coincidentally, you and I live in the same area. I'm in Sterling, VA, just down the road from you. TIA, Pete
