I don't have an issue running Euro oils. I have run 0w40 Penzoil Platinum Euro, and Castrol Edge 0w40 Euro without any issue in my F-150.

Has anybody been running this? It seems like it hasn’t made much of a dent in our crowd, but I was curious if there’s any feedback now that it’s been out for awhile.
Well I spent far too long finding it, but finally found a cut filter comparison of M1 AC and VRP.
@WarEagle and @UGASpike are/were running it I believe.
No impressive results of oil burning cured or filters loaded that I have seen yet. Seems to be a pretty bog standard (not bad) synthetic oil so far.
Don't forget, "burning oil" is not the ONLY indicator of jammed rings. Excessive over the top fuel dilution like my car had, is also an indication of jammed rings. After of course, checking that the high pressure fuel pump is not leaking fuel from it's mounting point above/inside the valve cover, being driven by designated high pressure fuel pump cam lobe.
Currently in my daughter’s Santa Fe. About 2,000 miles into this OCI. Nothing to report and I didn’t expect to. No consumption issues before and none now. I grabbed a jug when it first came out due to rebates and discounts. This vehicle will be switching to 4 runs of Valvoline Restore and Protect next.
I am getting a filter cutter so I’ll cut open the filter and post.

Going to run M1 AC to near the end of the OLM. If I cut a filter and there is nothing in it - that will be the same as both VRP and EC30 …
Of course what that means has been as steady and as directionally stable as windshield wipers here …

Remind me, as I can't recall. Did your oil burning get better when you ran Red Line Euro 5W-30? Or just the fuel dilution? Or were you not burning at the time?
The way he conducted the test left a lot of room for error and questions.
Yes that was well covered in the thread. I think it’s meant to be taken as just interesting findings and not as a lab conducted experiment with a firm conclusion. Remember negative studies are important to report too.
It was basically an "interesting finding", but still a test that didn't prove anything except his engine is a carbon/soot producer since he saw similar levels of carbon type debris in the filter pleats from running non-cleaning oils before doing the test with Mobil AC.

I’ve got Advanced Clean in my 320k mile Honda right now. I think it might be another interesting case, since this vehicle has had Supertech virtually all its life until this oil change. Will also cut and post filters from both the final Supertech run and the M1 AC run.
Yup.
I left the filter on and have another round of AC in. After I run another 6k in my wife’s car I will check the filter again (9k total in service miles with M1 AC). Again, will prove nothing but I still think it will be a cleaner filter than VRP at 3k miles.
I think this is a very clean running oil… maybe that’s the “advanced clean” as in how clean it runs? Not how much cleaning it’s doing??
I never burned oil. If I recall correctly, at about 15,000 to 20,000 miles, I started gaining oil height. I am a short tripper 9 to 10 miles to work and back and 2-3 times a day 3-4 times a week to 7 miles and back to Menards or Home Depot. And I always/90% of the time warm up the car to at least 100F to expand my pistons before driving off. Even in summer too. Worst case scenario.
