I can! Oils from Texas crude, Calfornia crude, Alaska crude,
California crude, Pennsylvania crude all has different amounts of some
ingredients. This makes oil from some of those crudes not as slippery.
To develop these oils to pass testing, additives are sometimes used.
One of the chief components that is different in different crudes, is
paraffin. Pennsylvania crude actually has less paraffin naturally
occuring, and thus, is added. The added paraffin, for SOME reason,
tends to leave deposits.


Oh, Jeez ... this is a perfect example of the kind of misinformation and
nonsense that pervades the net when any technical issue arises.

I won't even waste any more bandwidth addressing each of the absurdities
contained in 'kisser's post but I do suggest anyone with an interest in
the subject do some real research. It is easy to find the facts ... much
easier than reading most of this nonsense.
