According to the "newest" information from a NAPA sales rep, "oil will lose it's viscosity ratio over time"....

I think its a bunch of whoohaaa put out by the oil industry to sell more oil changes, although I do not have empirical evidence to the contrary it sounds like a bunch of hog wash to me. They never stated that in the past.

Here in the North East they are now saying that the increase in gas prices is subject not to the cost of a barrel, no it's subject to adjusting the stock over to summer vs. winter blend. NEVER heard that one until this season!

Heating oil has risen from 1.39/gal to 1.70/gal although, as we all know there is a glut in the oil market.

*#$%#!

I say if the gallons are unopened they should still be at the same spec as required in 1985 for 1985 standards? Anyone else got some input here?!?
