@thetricky I'm sorry but I'm having trouble finding your post, you have a big history of posts and I just want to make sure I'm looking at the right one you're referring to.
That goes back to my point, there's a difference between maintaining cleanliness, via a reduction of carbon buildup each year and actually cleaning the engine via removal of carbon deposits that have already formed.
Most of these oils are claiming that that they simply reduce the buildup and...
Do not use any other grease than cv grease. I made the mistake of using marine grease for drive shaft cv and it lasted about 2000 miles before it heated up and blew up.
Depending on the formulation it might diminish the cleaning effects. From the sounds of it they are striking a careful balance between protection and cleaning. Unless there was some sort of neutral thickening agent you used. Using a 50 weight might require a ratio so high it dilutes the 5w30 too...

It seems I mixed up the anoline value of "60 or higher" as the threshold for where carbon is removed and ester content of around 50% Which higher than what redline and motul will admit to for their oils being in the 40 percent range. As far as the official numbers we know they could be less but...
The thing/problem im seeing with people bringing up euro oil spec or whatever other oil specs, is that it seems you guys are merging two terms or outcomes into one.
Just because an oil can reduce deposit build up, does not mean they can remove deposits. These are two different standards. What...

Like I said, the oil change intervals have been somewhat...
