High Performance Lubricants Euro oils...whose going to try it?
- Thread starter TiGeo
- Start date
@High Performance Lubricants - For a non-Euro application, is there any advantage to using this 0W-20 over one of your other ones?
I will have to find some some information to share on that. The short version is a star polymer would resemble the plasma sphere at the Spencer gifts store. There is a common core to which the chains are attached. If one chain is fragmented there are others on the core to carry the load. OCP’s would more resemble a strand of spaghetti. If that strand is broken you end up with 2 short strands that are less effective.
Our Premium plus series will use the same good raw materials but utilizing a DEX 1 Gen 2 /SP DI pack. I would say that the starting points are higher for the Euro oils vs domestic. We are so far from a normal starting point that the difference would be small. However I would still use the appropriate applicable Strategies as they contain the correct starting point for the intended use. We just spend a lot of effort to make legitimate improvements.

I am expecting UOA with track time on it.
You'll get it! That's my plan, switch it out in Feb before an HPDE in March.
Probably not, just meets or exceeds verbiage; just like SuperTech.
My real question is what does better actually mean? How much longer will it make your engine last vs using Mobil 1 0w40? I'd want to see an actual cost benefit analysis.
I think the advantage of that oil is you can run long oci’s, longer than 10k miles. And I don’t think you like to do that. I don’t.
Oil is about performance to me all of today's oils will make your engine last but I cannot afford to lose 1+hp at anytime
I wish.
These days the "Euro" adjective is nothing more than a marketing ruse. How do you know that it is so indeed.
You want a euro oil? Get one own by a euro company and manufactured there. Oil in EU gets a beating because the distances are much shorter than here so cold starting and short trips are a killer and if it performs well there than it will perform even better here.

The oil has to meet Euro specs so it should be stout in that sense.
It sounds like HPL is a top notch operation. I wouldn’t doubt any of their products.
Not true in this case.
The Euro line is designed for longer drain intervals, better HTHS, and other performance specifications appropriate to high performance European cars.
Need to read up on what HPL actually makes before making blanket condemnations based solely on word choice.
This thread has wandered all over. I’ve cleaned up so that the remaining posts are focused on discussing the OP question.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Agreed; 1hp is 1 hp!Oil is about performance to me all of today's oils will make your engine last but I cannot afford to lose 1+hp at anytime
Correct, the long OCI isn't a concern to me but viscosity stability over a shorter hard-driven OCI is.
