Glad you saw the light and it takes a big man to apologize.
I'd like to add one thing though and that is, never discount someone because of their age. There's plenty of us on CL that are younger than you but have quite extensive knowledge of the mechanical systems specific to these vehicles. They have their own little quirks and "special needs". You mentioned that you follow Salad's posts.... he's around the same ripe old age of 35 that I am. Knowledge, experience, and maturity have little to do with age.

Welcome to CF
There's a wonderful story that precedes this video done in my garage with Brendan aka buttstripe here on CF.. He should write it as he's younger.....and you can see how old I am.
Here's a link to Brendan's videos. He's a young whipper snapper!!

Cruiser, you look to be in great shape !!! A lot better than I am !!! Check out my build page and you guys will all get a better understanding of why I can be cranky sometimes!

Yeah, so anyway....
This is the best oil for your XJ!
This was an "ok" oil thread.
I think CR could of held out a bit longer and bickered a little better.
Pressure in the engine could have easily turned into a 15 page rant about bad rings. That'll make oil blow out of the "path of least resistance" every time.
Overall it was a good read throughout the better part of the week, entertaining, and I'll give it a 6 on a scale of 1-10.
4 page oil thread, three pages aren't even about the topic.

the level of wisdom, support and willingness to help noobs, intermediates and experts is awesome. The lack of arrogance and belittling when someone gets something wrong and just being a bad *** forum is why I use this forum more than any other.

Experience. It comes with age, the older you get the more experience you acquire.
I say this as I'm in the retirement bracket myself, but have no problems learning from the youngsters who display knowledge and maturity. But your point is correct.
I did smile through the first 4 pages though.
So my Rotella oil is fine?

I will have to take exception to this one sentence, specifically one word.
