I can read thanks, in all my experience(which is vast) I have never seen it happen. And I do not agree with you on quoting others, just because another person agrees or disagrees doesn't mean you are correct or incorrect.Also unrelated dyne sheets and "name dropping" doesn't make you correct either.
I still have not and suspect WILL not ever see prove of his theory that oil vapors will cause detonation.
this is his example:

Oil vapors are not fuel so they have no octane rating, 87 octane fuel burns faster not slower if you were to add oil vapors to the mixture (oil has an extremely low flash point) and if it were to affect the octane it would burn slower and no detonation would occur.
