    General Energy Topic: Comparitive Energy Output

    Both sides have valid points. My biggest problem with these discussions is that everyone always points to the "green" energy as only being viable as long as there are subsidies. Big oil is not immune to this. They post 10's of billions in profit every year, yet are still receiving billions in...

    Kendall GT-1 SAE 50 VOA

    Any visc or tbn? Looks a little slack for a dirt track engine.

    Elf Evolution SXR 0w-30

    Anyone on here have any dealings with this oil. I was looking for a locally sourced 0w30 for my old truck. Called the local Delo dealer asking about pricing for their 0w30 syn. He told me they don't stock it but carried Elf for a local guy for his motorcycle. It's under $10 a liter wich puts...

    Red Line 5W30 10k Miles - 2004 Volvo S60

    Nobody seems to notice the extra 2306 miles on the Redline vs. the Mobil 1. Could account for the difference in TBN as that's approx 30% more miles. So until he does 10k with the Mobil 1, We can't say it held up better as I think it's TBN starts out in the 8 range also. Might just be a wash.

    Difference between 5W50 and 20W50.

    http://www.castrol.com/castrol/genericarticle.do?categoryId=82915470&contentId=7032644 Looks like I've been out of the loop a little. They have finally merged the two and that would explain why the new add pack in the 5w-50 looks so much better than it used to. Exciting. May have found a new...

    Difference between 5W50 and 20W50.

    Syntec 5w-50 is a very smooth running oil. Even in the winter. I also am a fan of the Xw-40 and Xw-50 oils, though most of my apps are heavy duty or old model. I did have a volvo that I ran the Syntec in exclusively and it was a very nice running engine/oil combo. The last VOA on it showed a...

    Castrol Syntec 5/30, 11529 miles, 2007 Matrix

    Maybe syntec will become ok now that pennzoil has made a group 3 synthetic cool. Even sought after. I'm running the 5w50 in my chevy now. Smooth oil and easy starts even in the teens here lately.
