I see I can't spell Rotella, but anyway -
'Dinosaur oil' is a neat term too, even less politically correct than 
whale oil.
But seriously, that's a funny place to save.
The stuff has essentially no wearout, it only needs changing for 
contamination, filters need changing though.
(maybe that will stir it up a bit)
