New lakespeed test!!! Havoline 10W-30 Conventional VS Supertech 10W-30 Full Synthetic

A 160 post (and counting) LSJ thread.


Yeessssssss............ *XXXXXX*

Man, I'm glad I edited the part out that would have gotten me on the naughty list. *zips back up*

True, but the window of opportunity to retrieve any data from a new engine is very short. In contrast, an automotive engine fully broken in with several hundred hours will show almost zero wear metals in a few hour dyno run regardless of engine oil.
LSJr has to get the camshaft broken in with a high zddp engine oil, drain that oil because it negatively affects power, then quickly test a few different engine oils to see what the rings like.

Think this engine was fully broken in before this testing was done from what was said in the first few minutes of the video.

Carl Banks needs 3X speed

If you think Gale Banks is slow going, you haven’t watched Ron Spomer Outdoors.

Yep. 4X.

I find it odd how to some people, these types of pseudoscientific videos turn them into the equivalent of a crack junkie feening for his next 8-ball. The attraction isn’t there for those who can see the downsides to habits like this.

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

Yep. 4X.

Can we just skip to the last 15 seconds of the video instead? That should be enough to catch the jist of the conclusion…

Cannot stand that guy, I don't watch his videos.

Yeah, I’ll take real world use over stupid YouTube videos.

Watched this in its entirety. Other than the starting oxidation numbers (Supertech won this hands down) which would come into play if extending intervals, I'd say the Havoline Conventional and SuperTech Synthetic performed similarly. Supertech always came out on top but ever so slightly. Wear metals were 11-8, for instance.

This and the recent Valvoline tear down video have increased my trust in modern Synblends and Conventionals when used appropriately. And yes, even in turbos.

I am not saying better than synthetic, just better than I thought they were.
