The following question was posed by CompSyn under interesting articles but got no response so I wanted to post it here to see what some of you thought of this:
Lube Report - Can GF-5 Clear Final Hurdles?
I find this part interesting:
"Another piece of the puzzle, the new Sequence VID engine test sponsored by General Motors and measuring the oil's contribution to fuel economy, was approved by ASTM's Passenger Car Engine Oil Classification Panel, led by Thomas Smith of Valvoline. It still needs a thumbs-up from the full ASTM Committee D-2 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants, but that vote should come before year's end. ASTM Committee D-2 meets in Anaheim, Calif., in early December."
Could this mean the new API (SN)/GF-5 rated oils are going to have to have spiked levels of Ester base stocks to achieve new fuel economy standards?
What's the new GF-5 going to do the average cost of motor oil?
And what would the Sequence VID do to the our motor oil out performs your motor oil by X-times war?
