Been using the 5W30 HPL in my Tahoe , been able to extend my drain intervals with good labs to back it up

Got a summer of travel comming up to GA, KY and MN several times and this oil takes a whooping and comes back for more

1st fill change at 6.5 K and Blackstone said I had a TBN fof 5 + and I can go easy 10K in the summer heat down south with no worries

going to pull it at 7.5 K and run the lab on it after a summer of road work, KY GA, MN, WI, OH,,,, I will post the labs ,
got to get another case and try it in my wifes high milage honda

Really impressive and could technically be used in an engine calling for a 30 grade.

I've been trying the No VII 5w-30 PCMO as it seems to have a good HTHS for the viscosity (3.4 / 10.54 @100 °C). It in theory is also better than either of the 5w-20's in cold weather with a lower pour point and lower CCS and MRV. Good flashpoint too and great viscosity index for not having any VII. Would love to know the Noack though.

It doesn't have the nice euro add pack, but I think this model is the sweet spot in their line. If you can stand going a little thicker the No VII Euro 5w-30 might be the best oil they've got. It also looks to have better cold weather performance than the 5w-20's.

Only Differential Life 75W90, shopping ATF green and a Euro 30 weight.

Euro 5W40 for me in my Sportwagen.

I’m not an extended drain kind of guy. I like their Premium Plus line for cold weather performance. I use their 0w30 in my 2gr-fks Tacoma.

Just got EC30. I always wanted something to clean rings but not be a flush, thanks to the forum I found it!
Will be using it with Amsoil SS 0w20, should be good enough

The Amsoil might actually clean as good or better than the EC.

This EC isn't going to miraculously clean out your rings. Just a prep product for switching to their oil which has more cleaning abilities and over time will help.

thats a bummer if true

The oil is a much more aggressive cleaner, he's correct in his statement. The idea with the EC is to get you prep'd to use the oil, because the oil is potentially going to liberate a LOT of stuff, so if you are proactive and run a "clean" with the EC first, which will get rid of some of it, then you are less likely to plug up a filter when you switch to their oil.

If you just use their oil you'll get better cleaning as stated before, and the benefit of never having to use a product again to clean your engine.

By the way folks, which line of HPL oils do you think has the highest cleaning potential?

I believe they're all about the same.

I'm officially new to the HPL Club. I made two six-pack purchases. I plan on blending them.

Please refrain from negative feedback on blending. Since 1970, I have not encountered anything negative and I am first & last owner of my vehicles. What drove my prior vehicles to the junkyards was Rust.

What exactly do you expect to change w/r to each oil individually, and what shortcoming in HPL’s individual product lines are you expecting to address by mixing the two?

It’s just my take, but this seems like a great way to take an excellent known oil from either product line, and throw all kinds of doubt into the mix, pun intended.

My thoughts exactly. I know that he doesn’t want any negative comments about blending but I can’t help but wonder the same thing as you. HPL know what they are doing and I’m sure they would be shaking their heads at the thought of their oils being mixed. It just doesn’t make sense for people to play “home chemists” when they don’t know how two different oils are going to react together. It’s extremely unlikely that a better oil is going to be the result of this home brew. Leave the blending to the companies who make the oil.

Nothing Negative, blending 5W-30 with 10W-30, Good Luck!

No negative comments, just curious of what David has to say about that.

 

[goingplacesanddoingstuff]

I once mixed their P+ 0w-30 and 5w-40 because I wanted a viscosity in between.
