Who cares what color it is , there are much better choices out there.
VAD please look at the VAO run by BRUCE381,then tell me that GC is the best engine lubricant on the market. This GC has a very weak add package, but dont take my word for it ask BRUCE381 his opinion,i wont get into how i know,but BRUCE381 has incredible knowledge when its comes to engine lubricants, HE MAKES THEM.
I just picked up 8 quarts of 4023 green, and a case of 5122, which was gold. both are SL.
drums: There is more to an oil's performance than how strong or weak it's add package is.
What other synthetic xW-30, oil readily available in the US, is BMW-LL01 and ACEA A3/B3 rated besides BMW 5W-30 ? And have Elves!
Not Valvoline Synpower 5w-30 A1/B1
Not Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 A1/B1
Not Quaker State Full Synthetic 5w-30 A1 /A5
Not Mobil 1 5w-30 or 0w-30 A1/B1
Not Mobil 1 EP 5w-30 A1/B1
Not Kendall 5w-30 no ACEA rating
These companies have to goto a xW-40 to get a HT/HS rating > 3.5

ANDYH you cannot protect an engine from wear and deposits on base stock alone.

drums57, why don't you go ahead and find a UOA from an LS1 powered vehicle (like my Corvette) with better wear numbers than my reports with GC. The proof is in the numbers.
But Tones, mon ami, vaught do you expect to hear in zee gazering place of zee diminuitive ones (please to glance again at zee ty-tell of zee forum); vaught you are suggesting is akin to going to a football game and complaining zat everyone is talkink about football.
PS There is plenty of "technical" info passed in this forum as well as "Elfe Talke."
I hope everyone realizes that the green is only a dye and dose absolutely nothing to improve the proformance and protection of this product.
OMG really? The green is dye? Oh crap, thanks for telling us that. What am I going to do? I thought green = protection. Should I trade all of my green oil back in for the "oil" colored oil? What oil color offers the best protection and performance? If you don't mind saying, what color oil do you use? I thought that GC have been through tests and proven in UOA's that it was a great oil. Come to find out the color is a dye.
Thank you Mr Drums. I am so glad you shared that with us!!
I think that is the beauty of GC,it has a relatively weak add. package, yet it performs extremely well, which leads us to believe it has a very strong base fluid. It certainly performs well any way you slice it.
VAD,BOAZ can you tell me why you both go crazy over GREEN CASTROL
Common, man.
Let me ask YOU.
What's your beef with Castrol?
It seems that you go out of your way trying to find something to b*tch about.
If you still get all that hot and steamy over the old synthetic/hydrocracked Castrol issue - get over it.
The train has left and you ain't on it.
