When you compare the number of turds each company has spawned its not particularly close. Honda and Toyota for the win.

Not for a well designed engine.

Thats exactly right.

Those euro cars are not in the same league as Toyota or Honda reliability wise in a general sense.

And I just looked at that thread... for starters the first thing I noted was the incorrect attribution of flashpoint to how an oil behaves inside an engine. Flash point is listed on an MSDS for storage and shipping purposes. It only tells one 2 things. 1. If the oil has a diluent or not and 2...

His test where not tests and he doesnt have any idea how or if Super M caused the failure or the heat or if there was any dufferance in heat. His methods are twrribke and a hand held twmp gun are highly inaccurate. I use expensive Fluke temp guns and even those have a huge margin or error. All...

There are things I worry about, but foaming engine oil isnt one of them. I've used plenty of Rotella in my work and private life. Never an issue. IMO all the major branded diesel oils are decent. I always preferred Mobil, but thats mostly loyalty to the brand as I have always had good luck with...

One other thing. Red Armor formulation changed a few years after the initial marketing was put out. It was an ester blend. It appears it no longer is last I checked.

Not that I have seen. And its hard to clean when your laying down deposits also.
