Sulfur in fuels like diesel, produce by products such as sulfuric acid during the internal combustion process. This acid is introduced to the oil through blow by and can lead to corrosion. Higher TBN helps the oil resist this process longer and protect your engine longer than oils with lower TBN.

You should refer to the manufacturer's recommendation for the proper lubricant, which will normally be expressed as an API (American Petroleum Institute) number and viscosity. Same goes for the fuel.

No wonder our country is broke. I'm sick and tired of my tax money going to stuff like this. Prohibition didn't work and this isn't either. Like others have said, legalize it, tax it and stop paying all the people trying to enforce it. We'd have enough to pay down the deficit and create a real economic stimulus.

So sad to see such a beautiful animal go down this way. I bet she had some good years with a staff that cared so much. Thank you for providing that.

I was under the impression that the Caddy Method was a 1 day class and the others were separate. I did enjoy the class and felt like I got a lot of value out of it. I'm achieving some of the goals I set in class and looking forward to setting some more.

Bear,

It was a pleasure to meet you at the Caddy Method. I look forward to seeing how this works out.
