Phillips 66 must have taken a stand on a social issue and angered the OP. However, the phrase he mentioned "get woke, go broke," doesn't have any basis in reality. Companies are profit-driven and are reading the writing on the wall. Society and demographics are changing, and what they see is...

Well, that's good for you. However, not everyone feels the same, nor does everyone have the time to use a computer for every task. Also, that being the case, just because you only use a phone for calling or texting doesn’t make a fingerprint scanner a gimmick.

Wait, are you not aware of all the capabilities and the information contained in a modern smartphone? If I lost my phone, not only could they access my banking and emails as mentioned by others on here, but they could control my security cameras, WiFi router, brokerage account, and more.

You are overthinking this. The solution to your problem is purchasing a phone with facial recognition. With facial recognition, your phone will unlock independently of any problems with your hands.

If you obsess over base oil, Mobil 1 Annual Protection is around 70% PAO, but significantly cheaper than oil from Germany or France.

Here's there thing about research, it can be faulty. There is a difference between actual research and absorbing marketing materials that make wild claims. Additionally, I agree with the post above me in that Mobil 1 is a superior oil to Royal Purple, not only does ExxonMobil have a large R&D...

You must have an enormous amount of free time to spent it fabricating stories.

There are also, like organic anti-wear additives that don't show on UOA, ash-less detergents/dispersants that don't show up on UOA. Don't use the ppm of anti-wear or detergent metals in an oil analysis as the only factor in determining the overall quality of a lubricant. As the current form of...

Originally Posted by ZZman I have been disappointed lately with the low detergents and ZDDP levels compared to their old oils and others oils. In a modern engine that has a timing chain and uses a roller cam, high zinc is counterintuitive. High levels of zinc are not needed to protect the...

I believe the Apple Watch has the most put together, and capable health monitoring out of all the wrist health monitors out there. However, only the newer ones have EKG capability. https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-series-5/health/

Mobil 1 ESP is one of the best oils on the market, if you have access to it, use it.

From the Mass Spec analysis on the Russian oils forums, all Mobil 1 oils contain AN, with the exception being the 0w-40 which also contains POE.

It is not sound to suggest people to add straight POE to their crankcase oil. Not only can POE cause damage to seals in incorrect mixtures, but POE causes significantly higher camshaft wear.

Right now I use Mobil 1 5w30 for a 5k interval. If the price were not a factor, I'd use Mobil 1 AP 5w30 for the same interval.

Not at all. Viscosity index is a dimensionless number that represents how the viscosity of lubricant changes with temperature. The greater the viscosity index (VI), the smaller the change in fluid viscosity for a given change in temperature, and vice versa. Thus, a fluid with a low viscosity...
