Back in 2014 when we had the coldest winter on record here I was having a sunroom added to our house in the spring and the contractor had planned on breaking ground in early May. He couldn’t do it till late June. The ground was frozen 7 feet down and he couldn’t get the massive screw piles to get down to the minimum necessary depth of 12 feet. The whole project was delayed for 2 months simply because he couldn’t break ground. Such is life in The Great White North.
Okay, back to oil discussions.

Thanks for that info, it confirms exactly what I was thinking - 6 ft tall fence needs 12-13 ft long posts! Anyway, yes, back to oil...
When I change my oil soon I will post about filter debris. I'm hoping that there will be none, giving a bit of objective support to my thinking about 50 weight.
