Jason, I have been on his case for sometime in regards to releasing what could be the most cutting edge and cost effective lubricant ever introduced to the PCMO consumer.
I am waiting too for a formula to try in my own cars !
Canadian Esso XD-3 Extra 0W30 not good enough for you Terry? Ever had the chance to evaluate it?
I think it comes as close to the best universal BiTOG spec oil as you could imagine.
1) its a HDEO (for the HDEO fanatics).
2) 0W-30 viscosity (for 0W fans)
3) Its a thick 30-weight (for the thicker is better crowd, and the crowd that likes high-viscosity 30-weight oils).
4) Its dirt cheap, USD$2.90/quart.
5) Full grp IV synthetic (for the Castrol Group III haters).
6) Its not readily found on the shelves of Wal-Mart, so it appeals to those who like obscure oils (like the Amsoil/Redline/Royal Purple fans).
7) It has a readily compatible dino oil family available if dino oil mixing is desired.
8) The wear numbers are second to none.
9) Negligible viscosity thickening and high TBN for long drains.
