    Zombie Green Oil

    Phillips 66 must have taken a stand on a social issue and angered the OP. However, the phrase he mentioned "get woke, go broke," doesn't have any basis in reality. Companies are profit-driven and are reading the writing on the wall. Society and demographics are changing, and what they see is...

    Smartphone Fingerprint scanner

    Well, that's good for you. However, not everyone feels the same, nor does everyone have the time to use a computer for every task. Also, that being the case, just because you only use a phone for calling or texting doesn’t make a fingerprint scanner a gimmick.

    Smartphone Fingerprint scanner

    Wait, are you not aware of all the capabilities and the information contained in a modern smartphone? If I lost my phone, not only could they access my banking and emails as mentioned by others on here, but they could control my security cameras, WiFi router, brokerage account, and more.

    Smartphone Fingerprint scanner

    You are overthinking this. The solution to your problem is purchasing a phone with facial recognition. With facial recognition, your phone will unlock independently of any problems with your hands.

    How Soon to Use Royal Purple?

    If you obsess over base oil, Mobil 1 Annual Protection is around 70% PAO, but significantly cheaper than oil from Germany or France.

    How Soon to Use Royal Purple?

    Here's there thing about research, it can be faulty. There is a difference between actual research and absorbing marketing materials that make wild claims. Additionally, I agree with the post above me in that Mobil 1 is a superior oil to Royal Purple, not only does ExxonMobil have a large R&D...

    Engine popped after running out of oil

    You must have an enormous amount of free time to spent it fabricating stories.

    Pennzoil Platinum HM 5w20 15 Jeep GC 3.6L

    There are also, like organic anti-wear additives that don't show on UOA, ash-less detergents/dispersants that don't show up on UOA. Don't use the ppm of anti-wear or detergent metals in an oil analysis as the only factor in determining the overall quality of a lubricant. As the current form of...

    Originally Posted by ZZman I have been disappointed lately with the low detergents and ZDDP levels compared to their old oils and others oils. In a modern engine that has a timing chain and uses a roller cam, high zinc is counterintuitive. High levels of zinc are not needed to protect the...

    School me on wrist heart monitors with pulse.

    I believe the Apple Watch has the most put together, and capable health monitoring out of all the wrist health monitors out there. However, only the newer ones have EKG capability. https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-series-5/health/

    Mobil 1 base oil?

    From the Mass Spec analysis on the Russian oils forums, all Mobil 1 oils contain AN, with the exception being the 0w-40 which also contains POE.

    Mobil 1 base oil?

    It is not sound to suggest people to add straight POE to their crankcase oil. Not only can POE cause damage to seals in incorrect mixtures, but POE causes significantly higher camshaft wear.

    Engine oil price and your selection.

    Right now I use Mobil 1 5w30 for a 5k interval. If the price were not a factor, I'd use Mobil 1 AP 5w30 for the same interval.
