[max45]

hi one. i'am thinking to start using these motor oil for my vehicle due to high mileage on my motor. i hear it's good oil with good additives. i wanna know if any try to test this oil in blackstone labs or any other lab? how does stand this oil with others 10w-40's high mileage,synth, or semi-synth?

What vehicle? What mileage? What is the oil consumption?

10W-40 is 'old school' as far as oil goes - yes, it can work well, but nothing calls for it....

i have honda civic 00' lx 5 speed with 255k miles. i been using 10w30 and 10w-40 oils, but somehow 10w30 get dirty sooner than 10w-40. for example 10w30 after 2000 miles it will be thinner like 20w weight. Any oil is like that, so that's why i will stay with 10w-40 weight at this mileage.

How do you know that the 10w30 is 'becoming a 20 weight' after 200o miles? Have you had an UOA done to see if the oil is thinning out?

In LA, on an engine that has 255k miles, 10W-40 certainly won't hurt the it, if you like it, use it.

As to the specific oil, Kendall GT-1 with liquid Ti is a very, very good oil. Use with confidence.

This oil is full of good stuff, but I think the 10W40 will kill your gas mileage. I would stick with the 5W30 or do a 1/2 XW30 1/2 10W40. I still use 5W20 in my 02 Accord with 220K miles.
