That's why I stated what I did, the proof is in the bottom line (which
for the unthinking, is the accumulation of all costs of operating a
fleet or a single vehicle).

Let me guess you are leading up to giving me a special deal so that I

Your right i don't generally bother to read your posts.. They seem to

to read "bullshit" and "see above" before one becomes bored and starts

Except that decision only exists in your fantasy world. The guy that is
maintaining a fleet sounds like he has a lot more information than you
now have or ever will have. Its only in your fantasy that you imagine
something different.

The difference between the companies published engineering lit and

No you are just a wannabee idiot. Analysis is just how people gather
information And the particular analysis you are referring to is a form
of statistical analysis. There is no doubt that statistical analysis is
effective, but the way it works is at some point someone has to decide
what is for them acceptable level of risk. What you are attempting to do
is claim that there is no risk involved in doing extended oil changes.
That risk free absolute certainty is not a charateristic of the real
world. It only exists in your fantasy world.

And of course in your fantasy world no person has ever run out of gas
when they rely on a fuel gauge. So why are you not hopping up and down
and ranting about the many people who don't trust the gas gauge and
never let it fall bellow 1/4 tank for fear of running out? Isn't this
also polluting your fanatasy?
The simple reality is that anyone who expects the fuel gauge to be
completely infallible is living in a fantasy world.

So how many fuel gauges do you have to put on a motor vehicle car to
make sure that there is no chance if yiou run it down to empty you will
ever run out? Your fantasy is so easy to crumble.

For many people it is just a whole lot easier to change the oil well
before there is any chance of it being worn out simply because the don't
want to become a neurotic obsessive idiot like you.
I have no personal problem with people who never go more than 100
miles without stopping to fill up with gas or with people who change
their oil or brakes twice as often as they might really need to. These
people are sane and normal because its a whole lot saner way to live
your life than to be constantly obsessing about how close to the brink
of disaster you can get with out falling in. The people who are
obsessing about how far they can get on each oil change are the nut
cases.

Where's your brain? Cummins stated position is:

"Cummins Inc. does not recommend that oil
analysis be used to determine
maintenance intervals"

That does not mean they do not approve of oil analysis. Cummins thinks
oil analysis is a good thing and they have provided lots of good
literature that guides people in how to do effective oil analysis. If
you weren't so retarded you would know that policy statement simply
means they advise people to not use oil analysis to determine oil change
intervals.

Yeah well in your fantasy world you may think it is brilliant strategy
to poke a hole in the bucket and count the drops coming out, but the
average sane human would probably just look in the bucket to see how
full it is.

Nevertheless ultimately oil changes do have an impact on carbon
deposits. That is not something your going to ever find out from
scientific oil analysis.

Somebody would actually have to make a logical argument if someone else
is expected to follow it. Or are you saying that your continual

argument?

Yes its small as in not easy to ascertain. But that is a foreign concept

be ascertained with perfect certainty.

So Lets hear your explanation. Or are you only capable of saying
"bullshit" and "see above"?

The article states that the wear particles are too small to be
filtered. So what's your explanation for why do they start to appear in
the oil filter after 20 hours but not before that?

No this is a simple case of you having no clue about how detergents and
dispersants work. You seem to think they are something in the oil that
get turned on and off like a light switch.

Try reading the study you might learn something. What do you suppose
this sentence was referring to:

"The radiotracer data also showed periods
of wear particle reentrainment, dispersion,
and recollection, following engine restarts
and idle periods during the oil-stressing test run."

Those things were observed in the long test runs past 20 hours not in
the short test runs with fresh oil. What it means is that with the used
oil (after 20 hours) when they shut the engine off and let it sit for a
while the radioactive measurements showed some of the wear particles
disappeared from the oil.

i've got a better question: why is it that you can read the same

eh? do the words "reentrainment" and "recollection" really confuse you?
because you don't seem to be able to make any sense of what you've
just quoted.

no, delusion is only seeing what you want to see, not what actually

No you got that exactly backwards as usual. I'm pretty sure I would be
ashamed of myself if I had read more of your posts.

In other words, you don't have a single clue how to answer the

False words??? You are precious little toady. If you don't want others
to explain your position why don't you take a stab at explaining it
yourself? I'll tell you why you don't because you can't.

If there is 'no depositing of wear products' as you stated previously
then how can there be "reentrainment" and "recollection" of wear
particles as the article states? Is that another question you can't
answer?

The simple fact is that what was reported in the article demonstrates
that some of the additives in the oil have already started to exhibit
evidence of diminished effectiveness at 20 hours of use.

Why is it impossible for you to actually state in coherent words what
exactly is incorrect in what I said? You can't answer that one either?

Going back to my first question - If you can - Please explain why it
was observed that the oil is displaying a difference in the way it holds
wear particles in suspension after only 20 hours of use?

dude, let's get this straight: i post information and cites that not
only offer you the opportunity to learn something you clearly don't
know, they also set you straight on some of the you have hopelessly
wrong. but you can't be bothered to read them, let alone address them
in any meaningful manner. to then accuse me of the mistake you yourself
are making is not only stupid, it's delusional.

You can't answer one little simple question about your so called
"information and cite". All you can do in response to simple question of
substance is to start name calling.

er, no, it's a case of how can i argue with someone that can't read,
doesn't evidence basic comprehension and doesn't want to know?

i've explained it, and cited external sources - you're the one that's in
delusional denial.

!!! wow dude, for someone that can't pass a basic logic test, let alone
comprehension, that's unbelievably presumptive and stupid!!!

eh? in http://www.swri.org/3pubs/IRD1999/03912699.htm, in the
"Accomplishments" section, it states:
"Testing with partially stressed oil, which contained some wear debris,
produced less wear than testing with clean oil."

if in your muddled brain "less wear" equates to "diminished
effectiveness", then you have problems i'm simply unqualified to address.

dude, if you could possibly get the facts straight in the first place,
we could possibly have a discussion. as it stands however, you're
hopelessly mired in confusion and delusion.
