Can you narrow it down a bit, or is it just "I know more than you going in"?
A study of the art of war to win what exactly you might ask..?
War has nothing to do with who's right and who's wrong... it's all about winning at all costs, wrong or not...

You may be onto something.

It's an appeal to authority. Said authority comprising 13 chapters of varied relevance. Most likely nowhere says "Don't feed the trolls", modern times require modern memes.

Lacks specificity.

It's about 'intelligence'.
If one has more information than the other side about the potential theater of operation, the war is over before it ever begins.
Napoleon and Hitler both underestimated Russian winters.
Boron 'myopia' is your downfall. It seems that you never entertained the notion that 'tribology' could be a lot more complicated, and cared to look into it. Fatal!

API Oil Categories as related to 'worn-out' cars

* Here's a timeline for motor oil classifications for all classifications.
* The age of your 'worn out' car reflects on the types of motor oils available over it's service life.
* 'New' motor oil parameters are restricted to 'new' oil. What it is, and how it's treated, bear upon what happens inside an engine, between oil & filter changes.
* Your owner's manual will provide you with the appropriate types/grades of motor oil for your car, as specified by the manufacturer when the car was new.
* What was actually used will impact what actually happened to the engine.

This is where I'll start the 'Boron' conversation. All related discussions will be handled under dedicated headers.
