HPL NO VII 10w20

[53' Stude]

Good Morning folks. I am wondering about the HPL NO VII 10w20 oil. Is it actually a 20 weight or a 30weight? I know a member here has run it in his Hyundai. Thank You

it’s a 20w by viscosity but with a HTHS rating nearing that of OTS 30weights iirc.

What is the HTHS?

What is the HTHS?

2.759 for the PCMO Version.

 

[Patman]

What is the HTHS for the custom Overkill 0w20? I seem to remember that it was close to 2.9, is that correct?

It’s a W20, per the specified name.

But it thickens up to almost a 30 weight


No matter I got some on the way.

How

Dunno and don’t care. It’s fine for my fleet

 

[OVERKILL]

How

Oxidation and zero shear.

Seems like a lot of these boutique oils still involve trade-offs of one kind or other... I'll just stick with my Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W20 & 5W30 at 7500 or 1 year, thanks.

Thanks, I knew he was wanting to start something. Appreciate it

So what I betting HPL don't make a single oil that is not shear stable but they will still take on fuel. I could possibly careless what you ever run in a vehicle.

Like you, I stick with M1 because it is inexpensive and readily available, while performing quite well. However, I don't think there is any downside to using certain boutique oils, especially the ones without VII's.

My F-Type may get the HPL no VII oil if I decide to install the pulley and tune I purchased.

Wut

Now that the bs is over I’ve liked the 5w20 NO VII 5w20 in the Focus of mine. Doesn’t matter how cold it starts fine.

It may or may not. Regardless of that fact, just because what an oil could do doesn’t mean we change the name or viscosity/grade/weight on what it could be. We name it what it currently is as unused.

Oxidation and zero shear.

So we make up a grade to a oil because of what may or may not happen to an oil.
will the HTHS of the oil increase along with it why do we label oils of what they are than.

Respectfully have you looked at Ready4War used oil analysis?

I have vehicles that are easy on oil. Other than that I have no honest answers
