But Userfriendly, this is our beloved Redline oil. They would not lie or just market to us -right? Actually, I kind of buy into the argument. I have heard it mentioned beyond just RL. RL is just vocal and has charts to back up their claims. BTW, I do use RL in MT 90 and D4, but not their motor...

Hi, I just looked at my Camry V6 auto and it seems to have a stock tran cooler. It this normal for most sedans? I thought I would have to add one. I wonder how well it works since the hoses go into the lower part of the rad? Thanks

So is the German stuff really that good or is Mobil 1 really that bad? In relative terms, of course.

Userfriendly, Good question, I don't know how they measure it and wonder myself. Regardless, Redline seems to think they can. See link below and look at Figure 1. Figure 2 is for HT/HS. Also, they claim that dino can not do it and only claim for their syn. But I would expect a low/none VII oil...

Leo, Not sure how close HT/HS tracks with the dymanic/temp shearing. Since most 10W-30 oil, dino or sys, have similar HT/HS of around 3, the HT/HS must not be able to reflect it completely. But I would expect at least some relationship. BTW, I pulled down some HT/HS SAE reports about a year...

Based on some SAE air filter reports, the min initial eff should be at least 98%, so it seems good. On one SAE report, one paper filter was as low as 91% for initial eff. The wear is much higher due to the dirt being about 4x greater. Nice that they give you the data on the filter box.

I switched to 90915-20004 about a month ago on a Camry V6. The pressue came up real fast even after sitting for over a week and the engine runs very smooth. Interesting, I was already using Mobil1, so the smooth running was a nice bonus. Of course, it could just be a placebo for me. I was using...

Hi, it has been said that syn will shear less then dino oils under load(basic Redline positon and BOSISTHEOILGUY has stated it in a post also). This less shearing, for lack of a better term, I will call it 'dynamic shearing' is when the VIIs align themselves under load and recoil back under less...

Ok, I confess, cheap wine is ok too. Just don't give me old wine, I want fresh wine - like Steve Martin in The Jerk .

Yes, but it is not the 'Elixir of Life'. Just a motor oil that was desinged by frail men. Regardless,I will leave the drinking of any motor oil elixir to IDRINKMOTOROIL. I prefer a fine wine or just a cheap beer.

Yes, I was thinking about the additional additivies not the viscosity increase.

Hi, found some German 0W-30. I have been using Mobil1 and #132. Any reason not to continue with the #132( Mola's ratios) with the Castrol oil? Thanks

Joe, I feel the same way and now keep my cars quite a long time. I travel and rent a lot of cars. It is amazing how fast the new car looks are gone in as litte as 25k miles(usually the upper limit for Hertz)- small dings, dirty carpets,seats and doors, rattles, damaged fake wood or cracks in...

I like Mobil's candor. Quite refreshing from a company.

For the anal folks, like me, would using Mola's #132 brew hurt anything to get some moly in this oil? Like additive clash? Thanks
