I'm assuming it's the 0w-30 R oil.

Mechanics are another bunch that usually know very little about oil

People that say things like "Mobil 1 blew my engine up" loose credibility from the get go and don't deserve the time of day IMO. It's so ridiculous it's not worth responding too.
quote:I am sure he can handle himself. Too bad most people here don't have a knowledgable mechanic that they trust enough for a little thing like an oil recommendation. What the helll do you expect on an internet site other than an ancedotal story? Fly in, we'll visit my Bosch Service Center and you will not want to argue once you see the pile of engines, his crudentials, and hear the stories. Bottom line is you guys can't believe someone can get reliable oil info from somewhere *other* than BitOG! The discourse here more closely resembles a jealous cackling bunch of gossipy housewives than the cold rational older BitOG guys that refuse to post anymore because of the above-stated reasons.
none of us are worthy enough to disagree with you

quote:UOA's maybe?? There is much more than anecdotal evidence on this site....... Just remember folks, it's all about the oil. We can leave flaming and thread-killing to the other web site out there........

quote:I'm not playing favorites. I'm inclined to agree with him that your mechanics aren't necessarily oil experts and this offends you? Making the "Mr. Goodwrench" comment wasn't exactly diplomatic. Your next statement from the last post was along the same lines:
Why did you choose not to point out Buster's implication of exactly what you accuse me of? Playing favourites? Am I in English 101?
quote:So your mechanic is godlike and above all others? All the other mechanics are fools for not using 5w50 Syntec? We're talking the opinion of one shop. Go ahead and use the oil. I'm sure it will run fine in your car. You come across as a snob. If you've seen the movie Caddyshack, there's a character called Judge Smails who tells someone who can't afford to go to college "Well, Danny, the world needs ditch diggers too." By the way...Ironically, you misspelled credentials, "crudentials." Perhaps it was a Freudian slip? Like I said in an earlier post, quite a bit of information on BITOG is opinion and not fact. BITOG is just one source of information for me. I listen to many people and I'm always skeptical. If you choose to accept what these guys say as the truth without proof or the experiences of others then that's your decision.
