Bob is the oil guy... the place is full of recreational oil changers and there is as much B.S. floating around there as anywhere online.

The manufacturers have done more testing and development on this than ANYONE. I do not need a PhD in oilology; all I need to do is look in the Manual.

Yes I did look at the "university"- "can't store oil cold"- give me a break. Cold as in where it is in the crankcase all winter? In the past I'd contacted several oil mfgs and my inquiry was shelf life and storage. They said that as long as the container isn't sitting open, shelf life is indefinite. That is why you will not find a "best when used by" date on them. It's not a jug of milk for god's sake.
