Oils
& Lubs As the title says, its all about Oil. Basically, we've
just stuck to the facts and compiled an easy reference guide to
understanding the role of engine oil, the various components and
"ingredients" in oil, terminology and some general tips. As with
all ExplorOz Topic Articles, we'll get you thinking and outline the key
considerations and leave the rest of the sales job up to our sponsors
and advertisers.
How
to earn PointPlace Credits As
you know, ExplorOz has an area on the site called PlotSwap where, if you
are an OziExplorer user, you can upload plot files you have recorded
after doing a trip. To
encourage all those OziExplorer users out there to upload plot files of
tracks they've done, we've decided to give PointPlace credits for all
uploads. Click
here to upload your plot files. The
number of Credits you earn is equal to the number of Credits that the
system calculates would be required to download the same file. This
value is calculated based on the complexity of the file.
How
to use PointPlace Credits Up
until now, we have restricted the Plot download function to Members
only,
however we have now extended this to include Visitors. To
download any plot file you need the correct number of PointPlace
credits for that specific plot. Simply view the Statistics column of each plot file - you'll see a
reference Credits at the bottom
of the column. When you download that plot file, the appropriate
number of Credits will be deducted from your PointPlace account (view
your profile to view the balance of your credits at any time). 
If
you want to download but don't want to upload, then you'll need to
either:
-
become a Member (all members
receive 200 PointPlace credits on joining)
-
purchase PointPlace credits
from our online shop (just $5 for 200 credits, or $10 for 500
credits).
There's over180
plot files in the system but the more you put in, the better for
everyone. We simply provide the service, but its up to you to use
it!
