Wow, that's a crazy difference...
But you know what some of the members are going to say... "Yeah but that's Amsoils testing, and we can't be sure it's truthful" BLAH BLAH BLAH.

AMSoil picked a couple of soft targets there.

True, but there are so many misinformed consumers out there that think RP and Lucas are as good as it gets.

I used the Lucas 5W20 and I didn't like it at all.

They need to join BITOG then!
(RP is a darn good oil from what I read here though...)

I've had lucas in my bike the past few days and haven't had any problems so far. Its quieted the bike down and shifts nicely.

NOACK for PP 10W-30 is 9.7% and Valvoline SynPower 10W-30 is 8%.
It's really hard to beat those two for the money.
How others stacked up with NOACK...
What's up with GTX? Is it already a GF-5 formulation perhaps?

Mobil 1 usually comes in 2nd on all of Amsoil's white papers. What does that tell you? lol
Maybe you're right.. I was Always told it was 100% PAO.
Looks like RP oils are ExonMobil's Hydrogenated Mineral Oil (EHC-60), PAO, and Ester.
