Especially if you cannot specifically quantify by UOA or other analytical result, why you need PAO, ester, etc.
The "value proposition" argument really just doesnt cut it.
I can appreciate that we all want the best value for our money, but utilizing one chemical basestock as that basis is just silly.
What performance aspect are you trying to maximize?
I think a little respect is in order here, and deserved for the OP same as what you would demand for yourself.
An explanation is not owed, nor required. He simply wants to know about the formulation. It is not necessary to engage in The Inquisition to simply answer the question.
There is no disrespect intended - just rational basis for the discussion at hand; this question comes up even as often as a few times a week in very similar forms. A cursory look at older threads would dig up the same request and discussion over and over again.
See JAG's post just above. It references yet another thread discussing this.
If there is to be any semblance of learning or trading of rational and correct thought on here, it should include a discussion of the criteria that is of interest. Anytime that anyone uses the basis of "I want x, because I just have to have x", without basis, it is likely not optimal.
I invite the OP to procure some pure 11cSt PAO and put it in his engine, since it is so important. He wont like the result. That's not being rude or disrespectful, that is being realistic.
