A little ‘light’ discussion here on the 2nd video you referenced. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/lake-speed-jr-calls-out-bitogers-with-follow-up-deep-data-dive-of-the-8-oil-test.404019/

Just checked wife’s duralast platinum and it’s made in Mexico which google says its clarios. Actually have a ac delco gold in my truck not an everstart which appears to be clarios as well. Not that it matters now, but what’s the rep of clarios?

Welcome to the Premium Guard fan club! We’re a happy bunch!

Nice info! Just put everstarts in two of our vehicles so good info to know about regional manufacturers. Do you have any info on duralast from AutoZone? Somewhat recently put one of those in our other vehicle

Perhaps why a lot of their oils (all?) don’t advertise extended mileage protection beyond OEM?

Ah, I only clicked on the link from your reply to mine. There’s definitely some deposits there, but seems pretty clean to me. I wouldn’t think that amount of deposit would cause any issues, but I’m still pretty new to this stuff. The ‘factory clean’ claim/performance of VRP is great (and I’ll be...

Read a few posts from the link but not all 207 pages, lol, so may have missed some pertinent info. He was running 13-18k OCI with HPL. Maybe that was too far in his case? Just speculating.

Just ordered some kits from @Pablo myself. Oil analyzers has a good rep here and the non-postage paid kits seem like the best deal around. Will be my first UOAs and quite interested in the results as I look to possibly extend OCIs

Yeah, I imagine the demand is increasing even more now. Less than a week ago I ordered a 3-pack of 5w-30 5 quart jugs for $90. It’s $107 now

Same for me. Only 5w-20

@BrendanC has several C&Ps of CQPs using HPL PCMO with 12k mile OCIs and they all have looked great. He’s mentioned before he would be comfortable running them quite a bit further.

I’m unaware of such with folks using 30 and 40 weight oils, and I’m in a bunch of 3.0 groups/forums. Note: I had to google oil cavitation so I’m no expert

Yeah, OEM mileage would be the absolute max I’d take any OTS oil (though I personally stick to 4-5K) so that attribute doesn’t factor between these oils for me. ETA: hoping to start extending my OCI with HPL/Amsoil in my truck and wife’s telluride but will need to run some UOAs before I do...

Eh, some good evidence here that Amsoil/HPL can easily handle extended intervals. See @wwillson and @BrendanC use of HPL for examples.

Agree 100%. I much prefer supporting HPL and @Pablo
