I am just wondering as to which applications one would select one over the other as both have similar manufacturer approvals and specs.

As a Canadian I have mailed off oil samples to BS for over a decade without <span style="font-style: italic">incident</span>. In the beginning it wasnt unusual for me to draw two samples...just in case. But for the latest mailed bottle (M1 ESP 0W30), it has been almost 2 weeks and nothing <img...

I just picked up a case of this what I think is this oil but I see no "X1" anywhere on the box or bottle and there is no certifications listed (except for ACEA C3). (The M1 ESP X1 0W30 has a bevy of certifications shown in the online TDS eg 504/507). (I believe there was a previous ESP 0W30...

We have had our 2005 Pontiac Vibe since new (now at 195k km/121k miles). I had done several UOAs in the first 5 years or so and all seemed good. For the past 5 years or so the OCI has been about 1 year (no detectable oil consumption). This May 2019 will be the one year mark for this current...

I have used PCanada oils in the past; in their Supreme lineup. But visiting the website today I see there is a single offering for "European" vehicles. I am not sure if this is a relatively newly released product <img src="/forums/graemlins/confused2.gif" alt="???" title="???" height="22"...

I have always found that from a cold start, the dummy coolant temp needle reaches its usual operating position (much) more quickly than will the oil temp reach 50 C (the lowest temp for which the car shows an oil temperature) (VW GOLF R) But this was not the case this morning ie with the...

There has been the steady 'movement' from <span style="font-weight: bold">5W40</span> to 0W40 to 5W30 to 0W30 and even to 0W20 (eg for the 2019 VW GTI). BUT as of today, if you if you <span style="font-style: italic">still</span> had to use a 5W40 oil which one would it be? (Which has the most...

I read that fuel system treatment is often done at the time of an oil change. I assumed this was just a way to keep track of the application of the fuel additive. Is there any reason(s), in terms of efficacy, to put in the additive before or after an oil change or does it matter?

I see that with Max1 0W30 it has a viscosity of 57.4 (at 40 C) and 10.4 (at 100 C). (Albeit I haven't looked lots but for example by comparison, PP EURO LX 0W30 has the numbers 58.7 and 11.9).

I often listen to OTR (Old Time Radio) on my internet radio. The SIGNAL OIL COMPANY was a regular sponsor of many of these shows (eg The Whistler) so it isn't unusual for their commercials to still be part of the playback of these episodes (some from <span style="font-weight: bold">75</span>...
