Has GTL proved itself?

You got to talk sense and be convincing, you can't just say I've been on this board for 20 years so believe me. Doesn't work like that, most of us have been on this planet for a while

With all due respect, you’ve been given the answer. One base oil type isn’t the only factor; by a long shot, to whether an engine reaches high mileage so it cannot be credited as the reason to making high mileage even when it’s been in use. That’s like asking did an engine that failed prior to 100k fail due to GTL base oils used? Again, GTL is often part of a blend of base oils, which are in a blend of a final product. How well a given fully formulated product performs is based on its intended use; not simply whether it has GTL or PAO or any other base oil.

I use Pennzoil ultra 0w-20 in winter and 5w-30 in summer, its a great formulated oil, the GTL base stock is very good , like it over Mobil 1 which is strangely overrated and resting on its past laurels. Our local PD runs the Pennzoil platinum with absolutely no issues. in their SUVs. Some other brands of engine oils may also be using GTL or a blend of that base stock.

Can you quantify this statement? How is it Mobil 1 is "overrated and resting on its past laurels?" If you simply do not like Mobil 1 products that one thing but this statement is rather specific.

Instead of playing the victim you could have easily used the search feature to find out the data you asking about. Give that a try from now on and you’ll save yourself the self created drama festivities.

You’re really grasping at straws now.

It's quite ironic when the projections start flying. Ego is certainly at play in this thread. The irony.

You really took offence when your lack of knowledge on the Toyota 2.5L was exposed. Chill, knowledge has no end, we learn something new everyday. There is always something new to learn at any age. Be humble and decent, and move on. Peace

Hey brotha, you have zero idea who you are calling out. I'm a rank amateur. Bring it to me all you want. @kschachn is a legitimate dude with a high degree of science-based knowledge here....and there are many here that know their
