Wow. So when on the road the advertised Tq/hp numbers are actually to the wheel and not flywheel. Thanks for that vid nick

It was simplified to me as anything organic. How accurate that is I cannot say. Molekule has this one bagged and tagged.

Originally Posted By: Garak And the reason that Mobil 1 no longer meets the Chrysler spec has absolutely nothing to do with chemistry. Nor quality,nor anything to do with actual performance of the lubricant. It's politics. That's it

2 cans is crazy. I've never added more than one and it stopped whatever leak I was trying to stop. Firstly what problem is he trying to fix.

Originally Posted By: Brybo86 Really all it boils down to is wear. Example Oil A gave 50ppm iron and still has a TBN of 4 Oil B gave 12ppm and has a TBN of 0 Which oil did better? Oil B I would try a 3rd oil, maybe Rotella 5w40, or castrol 0w40 If the Amsoil really costs double based on the...

We don't always see eye to eye here but we are a large,dysfunctional family and we care about each other. A bitoger doesn't let another bitoger ride dirty. And that's what makes this place different.

It's a surprise those old engines didn't dissolve over time.
