Lata!

To all the gents who actually did help out answered some of my dumb questions, and make legit contributions. Thank you.

The question has already been answered. I was simply just asking questions about other oils, and some people......oops, sorry, some "professionals" seem to have taken offense by that. Anyways. I'm off this website. They were right. This place has gone down hill

Oh boy. What else what I be doing on here? Lol. "Amateurs"? I didn't know there were professionals. I'm assuming you are a "professional"?.....that comes onto the internet to debate oils? I thought professional would have a better, more "professional" place to do that? I guess not!!! Isn't...

Thats what I'm trying to do, hence me now looking for a Dexos 2 oil. But are there Dexos 2 oils that have high SA? Which is what I don't need, correct? And I can't just go off approvals alone, right? Considering Amsoil claimed to have all the approvals I needed, and it didn't cut tye mustard. Lol

My old oil was 3.1, so I think it needs to be higher than 3.2 also. I don't know what the magic number is honestly.

I think the Castrol is high saps tho? Am I right or wrong on that?

I think this is the next oil I'm going to try. It looks like the old "formula" version may be slightly better than the current version, but not by much. Now, I just gotta find it. Lol. I appreciate your help on this!!! Thank you!!

Looks like the SA is higher in the 0w40 and the Flashpoint is lower. Wouldn't the 5w30 be a better option if that's the case? And wouldn't the 5w30 have less vii's?

How do you think the Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 would hold up to some hard street driving?

I do know that I don't have to read your contribution, but I do appreciate it, yours and everyone else's....buuuut, MY point is, that I was asking (at least from my perspective) different questions then what were in the last post, as well as my decision to try a more "off the shelf" oil, as...

No, because after that thread, I started doing more research, and had different questions, mainly about the d1g2 specs. You don't have to participate if you don't want to, you know that, right?

I would say yes, my car would know the difference. It's a 1.6l EB motor in a Fiesta. It's a TT5 track car, on e85 and methanol. It sheared down some Amsoil SS 5w30 into a light 20wt in only 2200 miles of STREET driving. I'm looking for a better alternative that would shear down to a 30wt in that...

How do you guys feel about the Mobil 1 5w30 ESP? Looks like it just might be what I'm looking for. Thoughts?

What's this d1g3 I just read about?

Tbh, I didn't even know there was a d2g2 spec now. My warranty went out the window when the car had 500 miles on it. I'm just trying to find a "thick" 5w30 for a turbo direct injected motor. I thought the d1g2 spec was the "it" spec for that motor. That's why I was aiming at d1g2. If there is...

Excellent. I appreciate the help. Looks like I have a new rabbit hole to go down now. Lol

Are all dexos 2 oils going to be a 40 wt? Is dexos 2, basically the same as d1g2, but allows for a thicker oil?

Jeez. I didn't not know that. This while time, I've been searching for the wrong oil. Lol. I appreciate the knowledge. Any recommendations for a dexos 2 oil?
