I too think they should have done the "cream of the crop" oils in a separate category : M1 0w40, German Castrol, Amsoil, RedLine,other Group IVs and Group V.

If anyone can name the other Group IV and V oils that would be great.

IMO, the one they should have really tested because it is available shelf-wise everywhere and directly competes with Castrol Edge and Pennzoil Ultra (which were tested) is Mobil EP.

From spending the night looking at the numbers and comparing them I have created a rank list of the 17, and posting it tomorrow when it is completed.

And Castrol Edge Titanium... Perhaps the extended oils have their own section.
