Red Line can admit to this fact, and actually states so on their website. Why can't Mobil1?[/QUOTE]
I liked those charts from Jon S. Great comparison tool.
However, the dramatic looking curves may not be the end all.
M1 5w30 has a Noack, so I'm told, of 13
M1 10w30 has a Noack of 8.8
Big difference? I wonder. In 60-100K how much different will the crankcase will look?
Will a good dose of Auto-Rx clean out the higher Noack oils varnish and deposits? I'm betting it will.
