EP claims it removes sludge in one oil change.

Many oils can remove some degree of sludge in one oil change. Doesn’t say how much; so it’s not actually saying much.

EP claims it removes sludge in one oil change. Their big claims are still there despite PAO going down.

Someone will correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t believe PAO is used for cleaning. Usually AN’s or Esters are the big cleaners(high solvency).

Looks like a corrosion inhibitor.

Here is a discussion on base oils; see specifically,

As noted, sludge isn’t the same as varnish or piston deposits.

Thank you.

I meant that EP's claims haven't changed a bit despite whatever change they did in the chemistry. Infact it has increased to 20,000 miles now, the old bottles said 15,000. I still trust Mobil though, they don't make bogus claims.

True. PAO has little to none cleaning capabilities.

EP is a great oil for sure. LSJR testing at the HPL lab showed GTL/PAO/AN base.

Other than dissecting the engine, is there any way to tell if pistons have deposits? My engine is over 200,000 miles now. I did the usual stuff like investigating the used oil filter but it was very clean, even under microscope. The dipstick is super clean, power and gas mileage haven't changed and I have never noticed any moisture builduo because I drive so much

buildup not builduo. LOL The Dipstick being clean is a good sign!

If you don't have oil consumption, then the deposits aren't really an issue.

ZERO oil consumption. Nothing changes on the dipstick after 6000 miles.

Bro, that's all I could up with at the stoplight lol

I missed that video by Lake. Do you recall the title?

I understand, I can barely dial a phone number when I am at a stoplight. I do not have a Smart Phone, I have a Flip Phone, when I get smart, I will get a Smart Phone.

I had warched this video but couldn't recall the EP part. Thanks.
It shows that Mobil is a great company. No bogus claims and marketing, those oils are really different. This new R&P competitor will be different too.

 

[addyguy]

Before we get all excited, could this just be a re-branding of ‘regular’ Mobil 1 for API SQ/GF-7 oils, and is not a new product???

 

[Sienna dude]

EP can do it if you drive a lot. 255,000 miles are the proof.

I was honestly surprised how good Truck and SUV did. For years I thought it was just marketing for a tad higher viscosity. Who knew how shear stable it was!!
