I was tooling around Neo Oils website and came accross this test labeled Falex test.
NEO has found that most so-called synthetic oils when subjected to the Falex test ASTM D 3233B will fail at about 1000-1350 PSI, and petroleum oils fail at 600- 700 PSI. However, NEO's High Performance Synthetic 0w-5 motor oil passed the Falex test at 3500 PSI.
Can anyone elaborate on this test?
