I've never heard any RP fan come up with any proof RP has more/lots-of PAO, more esters, better UOA records, anything, even what in the Hades is this Synerlick stuff made of? With absolutely no facts to go on, and a company ruled by a marketing dept who like purple dye, why should anybody fall...

Got mine yesterday. Pennz Plat (non-Ultra), but its free, and I'm very appreciative of free oil and analysis. Thanks Pennz... Sorry bitogers if its all just boasting here, some are going to feel left out. Gloating is probably wrong. It was the luck of the draw, just a lottery pick. Wondering...

My question is: Is this P1521 Code being triggered only if the oil is too thin then? As OVERKILL said, higher visc oils than 5w-20 don't usually trip it. The OP's copied notes do mention possible cause of "oil contamination". Edit: Garak and used_oil's responses typed in same time as my...

Originally Posted By: OVERKILL Basically. You can get away with a slightly heavier oil (0w-30 or 5w-30, even 0w-40, which the SRT's and other 6.4L vehicles spec) but I'm sure it probably poops its pants if somebody puts 15w-40 or 20w-50 in it. Wondered about that too. As on oil warms up, it...

That is interesting! Thanks for posting it. Blows my mind. I saw a discussion on BITOG here once upon a time that an engine's sensors could deduce the viscosity from those pressure, temperature, etc. measurements on-board in real-time. Just googled in on the BITOG site...

What is "Deposit Shield"? Marketing buzz word? Other oils don't protect us against deposits? Chevron (Havoline) has always made great oils, a solid company we can trust. Love da Chevron Oronite website for techie stuff! One thing a bit odd about Havoline, QSUD, and Pennz Plat, is that they all...

Originally Posted By: JOD I think the title of this thread should be changed to "Mobil 1 0W40, Synthetic Blend!". That will shake things up a bit... Maybe some BITOG members can file a class action lawsuit. I'm sensing some serious damages here: mental anguish, pain, loss of consortium etc...

Hi, Doog Hillary- you said this; Quote: you could consider packing your bags and moving on........ Being rude to a member using humor on a public (i.e., doesn't belong to YOU) forum, as I did, and buster knows it, is kind of clueless of you. Grow a sense of humor and stop claiming ownership of...

Originally Posted By: Mazda3LA .....Chevron Supreme is not dexos approved ..... OLM is at 91%. Not being dexos1 approved means the OLM will be wrong. OLM assumes you are using an oil that fights deposits and wear as well as dexos1, which that conventional oil is not doing. Therefore, go down...

Originally Posted By: Pontual Yes, I think my blood would have more Ti than those Titanium oils ... Just disapointing, but that's not the Edge Titanium, right? There was a Castrol Edge gold jug Extended Performance 5w-30 that had 22 ppm, still low compared to around 40 ppm they used to put in...

Originally Posted By: buster The terminology Mobil uses via their webpage is also different than the other oils "ultra high performance synthetic basestocks" I'd bet this oil uses a significant amount of some exotic Group V base oils. Probably POE. What part of...

Originally Posted By: wemay Originally Posted By: Falken I guess at 7ppm it ISN'T false advertising... But come on. Very good point but can we condemn the brand over one VOA? Some will, some will not. But you bring a valid argument to the table. There was another UOA of Castrol Edge a while...
