I've explained my path, and I'm not going to put the cart in front of the horse on account of your sense of urgency.
I'll catch up when I'm satisfied that all that are interested are armed with enough fundamental data to navigate what lies ahead.
It's a sophisticated topic, requiring a multidisciplinary background approach in order to parse out what's been reported.
It'll take the 'semester.'

Oh your "Water in the oil makes it less viscous test"
  • 'Drinking water makes you less thirsty' is as obvious.
  • And no-one has to add the water if they don't want to:
    The combustion process will do that for them over time. (HC+O2=H2O+carbon this n that)
    It just takes a lot longer.
But go ahead and do your thing. I'm sure you'll earn your keep by scaring off a lot of people.

So everyone knows:
A low on compression, difficult to start, old lawnmower is probably cheaper and certainly more abundant than whatever (equipment etc) aerhead has planned.

"Fundamental data" like the huge list oil certification acronyms you like to list.
Your lists have all been in your Art of War: "You mere mortals will NEVER understand this! Be too intimidated to even ask!" style so far.
But readers are supposed to find them, and you ...'helpful' are they..?

Do actually be helpful and explain them:
  • What they test for.
  • How they test.
  • and why each certification is important to the consumer.

Then you also want a % of oil companies that actually have each certification.
As I said one of those Oil Certification Clubs costs 150 000 USD a year, so has very few members, as that cost would have to be passed on to the consumer
I'll post a link as soon as you post your 1st. Or are we to take the word of someone incapable of figuring out how to do so..!?


Don't mistake my being offended by your basically calling me a liar with a sense of urgency My Friend..

I don't care if no-one here tests it.
I know what I know as I did test it for myself. (after reading the published research)
And a good many other people have too.
Every-one else; Their (6 to 10% better fuel economy and engine life etc) loss.
