Go to bobistheoilguy.com and you will see they have a big library of virgin oil analysis. Watch out, the site is addicting.

I have read almost the entire bobistheoilguy.com site and here is my takeaway:
  • Use a proper weight, well known brand of oil
  • Change it regularly
That's it. Sure the details are more complex but for the average car owner, that's all you need to know.
