High Performance Lubricants PCMO Series

I asked the same thing, & this was the response.

"We do offer our Diff Life 75w80 if you prefer that
Thicker is not better- in a gear box it can result in foaming and higher temps - actually reducing protection on longer drives."

I decided to go with the thinner MTF10, as that was his recommendation. My Civic is also a slow, gen 7 econo-box with the D17 motor & am not pushing my gears to redline every day. It mainly just sees longer freeway drive times, but RPM's usually stay between 300/400k for long distance & use 5w40 in the crankcase as he recommended to me a year ago where I prefer it thicker anyway. Made sense to me that in a gear box the thinner oil would cool down quicker & flow better, providing better protection, so I decided to give it a go.

that's good to know. being how thin the Honda MTF is.

This is a surprising (to me) pic of what the HPL CC green did to POR-15 gas tank liner stuff after sitting a couple of weeks. It didn't all lift off, but most softened and wrinkled.

What's the liner made of?

POR is a moisture-cure polyurethane

Well, their fuel tank liner product is. The other POR-15 products aren’t necessarily the same.

Has anyone used HPL Premium 0W20 (not Premium Plus, Euro, Supercar, etc)?

I was wondering how it differs from the other 0W-20 offerings from HPL in terms of composition and if I could expect any difference in performance? I know Premium Plus is PAO heavy and Euro and supercar are additive heavy.

Premium Plus = SuperCar except with different ad packs. They are at the top of the HPL line for their respective Euro/American formulas. Both use same base oil etc.

Premium = PCMO basic, but with star polymer instead (improves shear stability)

With HPL, I'd suggest to just start with their basic PCMO unless you have a need to improve on an already excellent formula. If you call HPL they'll say the same thing. P+ and SuperCar have better cold start properties (for example) and can probably run longer intervals.
