Ron gets a slick no-prize for bringing us this Discovery Channel article on recent discoveries regarding motor oil. While a seemingly pedestrian substance, motor oil is in fact a very sophisticated cocktail of petrolium products, detergents, and additives. So sophisticated in fact until recently nobody completely understood how some of the additives actually worked. Now, with a better understanding of said functioning, it is hoped scientists can come up with better, less polluting lubricants to create more "green" oils.
