[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

That's 284 degrees farenheit...  It is just a bit high, allegedly 280 degrees 
F begins to break down the oil, esp. at getting to that temp. many times (ie 
day after day)...  Then again, the oil does not get to its optimum 
performance, and/or do away with all the impurities until at least 80 C...
