An article was submitted sometime last year discussing motor oil.
What I would like to know is which brands of oils contain
wax additives (paraffins I believe) and which do not.  Also, if
there is another criterion which one should use for not mixing
oils.  I want this information so if I need oil and my present
brand is not available, compatibility can be reasonably assured.
More importantly, from time to time I switch brands, and because
I can't get *all* of the oil out, I would like the new brand to
work properly with some of the old brand present.

Any other info on types to stay away from, or info sources
would be appreciated.  I read an article that most national
brands were about equal in protection, but I'd appreciate any
additional info.

Thanks in advance,
Pete Bauernfeind
