But don't people say that $20 voa's can't show all the hidden gems within the formulas?Looks similar to SuperTech at twice the price.

LOL me too bought two Jugs in 60 years of oil purchases!Lol yeah it is expensive stuff but I like to buy it occasionally because when I was in school they were one of the companies that supported our engine building team as long as we displayed their banner when they done competitions.

No, a $20 VOA will not show the "hidden gems". A VOA will basically show what the PQIA shows.But don't people say that $20 voa's can't show all the hidden gems within the formulas?
So there’s probably more goodies that only a mega expensive analysis would reveal.No, a $20 VOA will not show the "hidden gems". A VOA will basically show what the PQIA shows.
I've done the research and with the limited information from a VOA and PQIA, not much different from SuperTech.
Wouldn't you have an enhanced sense of personal self worth as you cruised down the highway?Nothing there that makes it almost twice the cost to me.
Agree, I have wanted to try it just for s__ts and giggles but can’t justify the cost of it when there are oils that do just a good of job for less $$Nothing there that makes it almost twice the cost to me.
Which should result in obtaining more stringent approvals and specifications. Otherwise how would anyone know?So there’s probably more goodies that only a mega expensive analysis would reveal.
They did run an RP Synerlec oil some years ago. Note the sulfur content due to an EP additive.It's too bad that PQIA doesn't post any info about RP synerlec oils.
PQIA runs tests selected to determine if the oil in the bottle is consistent with its labeled claims, not so that oils can be compared. That's a BITOG thing. With a few exceptions, the Noack test has generally not caught deficiencies that other tests missed, and so has not been useful to PQIA's mission. They will run Noacks when they believe it may be telling, but otherwise it has not been a very helpful data point.Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I believe Tom NJ addressed this not too long ago but i couldn't find it. His comments made perfect sense though.

Royal Purple with Synerlec
PQIA runs many oils that are not API approved.So those who are not running around trying to be like everyone else gets the cold shoulder

If future standards reduce Noack volatility, it's likely the Noack testing will resume until it is determined oils are generally in spec...PQIA runs tests selected to determine if the oil in the bottle is consistent with its labeled claims, not so that oils can be compared.

Fascinating how Valvoline blew every other oil away Besides RP and Penrite)!! There has to be something to this, at least imo.Posted before, but for those interested, here is the old one-armed-bandit test from Street Commodores, back in the day. Posted for amusement only, but Royal Purple 10W40 with Synerlec is one of the oils tested.
No need to thank me.....it’s a community service.
