The thing is I wanted to order 0W-16 Ultra Plat for a different vehicle but it doesn't exist. Not even on Pennzoil website. I found that odd, thus this post.
That begs the question, do you even know what GTL is?
Another real question if someone even understands what it means.
Gas to liquid. Basically an advanced Fischer-Tropsch process with some other goodies tied in
So what about the turbo and how the temps mess with it?
I was asking if motor oils produced via that method are more susceptible to the temps in a turbo. Obviously it hasn't blown my car up yet but if GTL oils are slightly worse at those temps I could maybe change oils to one better suited for turbo vehicles. If they're basically equal to any other oil I'll keep using PUP 5W-30 in my Ford Edge
No they are better. A higher viscosity index and lower levels of contaminates.
GTL is very similar to PAO especially in heavier grades.
So low oxidation?
It would be the lowest volume product in a low volume product line. Maybe someday the numbers will work and SOPUS will produce it.
Yes. Very similar to PAO.
Gasoline engines needing 0w16 don't stop being made inside factories because PUP isn't available. Try Mobil-1, Valvoline, Castrol or a boutique oil-brand.
My question isn't that though. I'm curious why they don't make a PUP in that grade. Can they not meet certain specs with the additives, do they not feel it's needed?
