Combustion or lubrication?

Always need lubrication.

Thanks Ian, I wasn't aware of that BP village, I'll google them and contact them.

Be nice to spend a day with some lubricant chemist's to find out more about the job, maybe i should enquire about that too

I would advise you send Well Oiled a PM. He should be able to point you in the right direction as he works in engine oil development
