High Performance Lubricants No VII series engine oils.

Is that oil on the ADV site? Are there other oils that are not on the ADV page? I'd be interesting in the small engine oil.

Thanks!

I didn’t see it on the site either, a 5w30 would be interesting while under the Generac warranty.

I personally went with the CK-4 5w40 Cold Climate in my generator just because we see -20* to 105+F here. Dave’s recommendation certainly won’t steer you wrong, though!

Your engine is clean mewbs.

I hope your hoarding complex doesn’t extend to all areas of your life… keeping 4 weeks’ worth of engine TP is over the top!

Don't really hoard anything other than having enough stock of oil filters in the garage to last me another 10 years. Also I threw those away this morning after posting haha.

Only 10 years’ worth of filters?? Pfft.

Well if i used them all once a year or 20k on my personal titanium stash theyll probably last me 40 years. Practically a life time. Running them 10k each is enough ROI.

Investigate the proprietary compounds in the fibers. You don't want them to dry-rot and slowly disintegrate from back pressures in coming decades. I used to keep filters a long time. But some of the internet stories I read in the past 10 years have changed my mind. Now I never buy more that a lot of 4 at a time.

I'm not too worried, full synthetic media doesn't degrade overtime like cellulose and synthetic blend. I have them all sealed air tight in ammo boxes with large silica gel desiccant packs. Most of my stock are the OG Titanium with the pink colored synthetic media.

We do make a small engine oil that has more additives for the heat from air cooled engines.

Define "perform".

 

[53' Stude]

Define "perform".

Ok, short version is this: is the viscosity a heavy 20weight or….

And by perform does it do the job fine?

Thank You

My wife's Mustang likes it. I've been running it at ~15,000 mile intervals.

Very nice report sir. Thank You

Thank You folks.

Looking at the HPL spec sheets, the xx-20 oils with the highest HTHS viscosity (the viscosity that actually matters) is the 10W-20 PCMO (2.861 cP HTHS) and the no-VII Euro 5W-20 (3.267 cP HTHS). That no-VII Euro 5W-20 has a KV (8.70 cSt) in the SAE 20 grade range, but a HTHS viscosity of a typical stout xx-30 grade.

How would you or anyone know if it was doing "fine" or not?
