Im sure AMSOIL did the mix already with the 0W20 to make it as durable as the SSO. most of the UOA with the 0W20 show great results. since it is your buddy let him have his science project. lets find out what he will try next oci

Originally Posted By: Billy007 Lazaro, His truck has only 23,050, and MC showed better wear numbers that your last UOA. I don't see any problem with MC. MC can handle 5,000 miles without any problem. dont tell me ask the OP to extend his drain and take another UOA to prove your point

Originally Posted By: wannafbody I agree, UOA on 1,3,5K runs is pretty much pointless except for cases of mechanical issues. I'd like to see UOA on off the shelf synthetics at 10 or 15K. I think Lazzaro is one of the very few who post UOA of high mileage synthetic runs. thanks for the reply!

Quote: ws6guy save yourself the trip to the store and do yourself a favor and pull a oil sample once a year. The Amsoil will last 5 years the way you use it, why spend more money? Why work more? if you have a PC account with AMSOIL you can get a smple kit for $18 and your oil sample will come...

what is the VOA for TBN on MC oil? the sample looks ok except for the TBN, using the oil any longer and the sample will go south quickly from there. Mineral oil isn't for every application like some claim! here is a good example. The UOA was a good decision no it is time to make a change. More...

Originally Posted By: tig1 It's my view UOAs are not much value to the average person, except if you using coolant or high fuel content. For the cost of a UOA you can change oil. Also oil is cheap, why go 40,000 OCI. Use a good synt. and change it every 10,000 miles. most average people wont...

I wonder seeing so many minimum oci's taken and uoa's done with so few miles, is the data collected suitable for discussion on wich brand of oil is better than another? with so many varibles in question I would like to think your results are best if you stick with a brand for a certain amount of...

interresting question for sure, I know from local DERM that oil seeps 10ft a year into the ground here, we have coral rock 6/12 inches under the top layer. oil decomposing? is that possible? after all it takes a very long time and perfect conditions for the earth to manufacture crude oil. in a...
