OK Lets have some fun with this one. No war allowed, only friendly banter. Based on the numbers, which one would you pick? This oil will be used in a ’09 Ford 4.6 3V and will probably be changed at around 5000Mi because of warranty time limit. Relatively easy miles, almost every trip is long enough for full oil warmup. It doesn’t see a lot of miles because I drive to work Monday morning and it sits until I drive home Thursday night.
These are the only specs I could easily find for all three oils so if there's not enough info, so be it. All three are 5W20 and meet Ford spec.
- OIL 1 - OIL2 - OIL3
Flash Pt - 224 - 231 - > 200
cSt@100C - 8.7 - 8.3 - 8.0
cSt@40C - 50 - 46.8 - 47.5
cP@-30 - 5300 - 3720 - 4700
VI - 164 - 155 - 146
Pour Pt ( C ) - -42 - -45 - -37
TBN - 7.8 - 7.7 - 7.8
ASH - 0.94 - 0.90 - 0.80
The spec sheet for one of the oils is from 2007 so it is possible that the numbers are incorrect, but hey, this is just for fun
As Monte Hall would have said, do you pick the door with oil number one, two, or three?
When I get home I’ll let y’all know what you picked. Have a great week everyone.
