Well, believe it. Moisture permeation through High Density Polyethylene (the stuff oil containers are made of) is a known fact. Introduction of moisture causes the calcium (part of the detergent package) to drop out of suspension.



So the airborne moisture goes thru the plastic, but none of the oil comes out of the plastic, and once the moisture goes thru the plastic, it goes thruout the stagnant oil, and attacks/attaches to the calcium?
My loss, I'm just not there yet. eek

If for a simple test, if I immersed a sealed plastic oil container, I would see accelerated oil breakdown evidence?

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
