We’ll be available to answer questions by phone on Monday at 815-932-3288. Please bear with us on any non-standard items or special requests—we’ll ship them as quickly as possible.

You can always do like myself and Adam sometimes does when a huge stockpile occurs. Donate oil to the needy.
Helping others is something we-all need to do more-of.
My eight 5 qt jugs donation of Castrol EP/Euro just ended. I have two years remaining of oils below I'm keeping.

Got bored with the laser engraver one day lol, I guess Ridge actually uses titanium!

Keys in right pocket, vape and phone go in the left… can’t put a wallet up there!
 
I was trying to see what I could cobble together for an order, but the advlubrication site went down for “updating.” Does anyone remember the “list price” for a 6-qt pack of the Differential Life, or the 4-gal box? I can do the discount calculations from there. I barely caught the PCMO price, before it went into update mode.

I have a dumb question. What’s the real difference in cold weather performance of the Premium Plus 0w30 and 5w30? They look so similar, with the 5w30 being ever so slightly thicker. Any reason to choose one or the other in a DI turbocharged vehicle in a -30F climate?

Or should I be looking at the 0w40?
 
-30F?...... be more specific..... overnights?...... daytimes?...... weeks?....... months?

You picked an oil that's parked immediate left of the HPL No VII oils. The PPP formula has much less VIIs and both of these aren't the best choices for frigid weather like -30......brrr!
In liking HPL in Polar Bears Land, I probably would have chosen HPL's 2-Ps instead of their 3-Ps motor oil.

Hey, but that's just me and I know little about HPL recipes.

Premium Plus is definitely a cold weather oil. They even say in the marketing "delivering superb pour points".

It has a pour point of -72F, whereas the Premium oil is "only" -51F.

I also don't know what you mean by "parked immediate left of the HPL No VII oils", I may be missing the obvious somewhere.

It's been mentioned here multiple times that No VII / low VII oils aren't frigid-cold friendly, despite pour points that suggest otherwise.
Why is that? It seems it has to do more with running it in the cold, versus starting it in the cold.
Maybe someone here familiar with the difference can explain that.
I'm certainly no HPL oil guru. I just read-read-read and keeping reading what's posted here at BITOG.

I am working with AI on the spec sheet data. This is what it said:

While the No VII oils can maintain pour point, the specs show higher resistance during cold cranking. This higher resistance means the starter motor has to work harder to turn the engine over, the oil pump has to work harder to circulate the oil, and critical engine parts may receive less initial lubrication during cold starts.

Comparing 5W-30s, the Premium Plus oil with VII shows 27-38% lower cold cranking viscosity compared to the No VII oils. This better cold performance comes from the VII's ability to maintain more consistent viscosity across temperature ranges.

To answer my own question on how exactly the P+ 0W30, 5W30 and 0W40 perform in cold weather, here's what it says:

At -30°F (-34.4°C), here's how they would likely compare:

1. 0W-30:
- Would perform best in cold cranking with estimated 4,100 cP
- Good pumpability around 14,000 cP
- Overall best cold weather performer at this temperature

2. 5W-30:
- Would show higher resistance in cold cranking (est. 5,200 cP) due to its 5W rating
- Pumpability would be around 15,500 cP
- Still acceptable but noticeably more viscous than the 0W-30

3. 0W-40:
- Despite its 0W rating, the higher operating viscosity affects cold performance
- Cold cranking around 4,750 cP
- Significantly higher pumping resistance around 24,000 cP

For operation at -30°F, the 0W-30 would be the best choice, offering the best balance of cold cranking and pumpability. The 5W-30 would take longer to crank but still provide adequate lubrication once flowing. The 0W-40, while capable of operating at this temperature, would show more resistance to flow and pumping, which could lead to longer cold start times.

All oils would still be functional at this temperature since it's well above their pour points (-58°F), but the 0W-30's superior cold flow properties make it the optimal choice for regular operation in these conditions.

Have you run any HPL oil or what is being currently run. Myself I’d go with the PP 0W30

Same here. Except I jumped and ordered two boxes to catch the sale. I should have checked my oil locker first! :rolleyes:Oh well, I can start using it in our other car too now. I can hear wife now. What on earth (auto products) did you put on the credit card this time!? Even though I pay it off before we even get the bill.
:whistle:She is really gonna blow when she sees I just got two more automotive magazines full of products in the mail today
