Thanks for these informative posts.

I am a fan of 'back of the envelope' calculations and so am impressed with Barry747's analysis. I will keep adding oil and keep you posted. My kids would expect me to start trying to create a graph of block volume verses oil volume!

You may be amused to know that I bought this butcher's block off a butcher in 1986. He asked if I had a big kitchen. I replied I don't even own a house yet. I always said I was going to do it up when I retired. Over the years it came out for street parties. I retired in August this year! I have attached a photo.
