Well, OK, I am almost sold. The next 225 ft yacht I buy, I'm gonna run synthetic. But there are a couple of questions maybe you could clarify about your story.
</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Unfortunately for him, when the turbos ate it from the dino oil overheating, he was 2,500 miles out in the Atlantic!!!! His mistake cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars!
Since he switched to using full synthetic turbodiesel motor oil exclusively, it has saved him millions! )</font>
So...he has avoided buying how many engines since the turbo failure? That would equate to a lot of hours, but....
</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Sure are happy to be 100% synthetic though, since in the subsequent 6,000 hours there have been no maintenance problems to report to Catepillar. 6,000 hours is only one year of operation though..... ))</font>
Saved millions of dollars in 6,000 hours of subsequent operation. OK, I can see that.
But if 6,000 hours is only one year of operation, that would mean that Tom & Nicole were on the boat in, what, early 2004? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tom & Nicole split up in 2001.
edit: deleted one sentence that, after reading it, I realized probably sounded insulting. That is not my intention but sometimes I come across that way and I apologize to all that may have read it, especially Skypup.
