buster, come on... Mobil 1 is a very good oil. Best requires a more specific solution to an existing application.
Here's some numbers from another 5w-40 synthetic
15.1 Cst @ 100C...HT/HS of 4.6 Cp at 150C and a Noack of 6%
...is it better because of those numer, I don't know? It's an oil that Ted likes, even though he sells Amsoil. It's an oil that Terry Dyson likes, but it's an oil that many of the oil geeks on this forum hate. They know it's junk, even though it has some good numbers. I think we are missing something in these numbers. We should call it the geek scale. And number one on that list has to be GC and last on the list would be Red Line. We can score the rest somewhere in the middle. If CG is a 10 and Red Line is a 0 then buster can place Mobil 1, depending on the Mobil 1 flavor of the month, on the scale, and TooSlick can do the same for Amsoil's flavors, and Roy Howell can argue that Red Line should rate better than a zero. I don't know why the geek scale hasn't been generated before this. We can totally avoid what else is going on in an engine as long as we have our numbers an one uoa, it's the numbers that drive the world around here and the geek scale will guide us to the light.
