I don't understand why you guys continue with this type of misinformation & number "enhancement"? Nobody's trying to discredit EC's abilities, & yet M1 gets continually slammed for some mythic "thinning" which has been shown to be less than what Castrol's "best" N.A. oil shows!quote:

If you had the choice between two oils, one which starts at 14cst and then finishes at 11cst, in a 6000 mile interval, then the other which starts at 12cst, but finishes at 11cst in the same interval, which of the two do you think is going to leave the engine cleaner? That would be my concern. So even though they both finish up at the same viscosity, if the 0w40 is thinning out more, it's not going to keep things as clean in the long run.
So are we now saying that 3MP's study, which is using percentages as its basis for tracking the oil's condition, is using the wrong method? Why is percentages the "correct" method for his study, but grade is always cited for this false argument?
