"Q" tech support is BAD...

I'm impressed with Torquepowers cold flow properties as of right now. I'm doing a little pour experiment of my own with it. It's been sitting outside in -5F weather for 6 hours. It pours almost the same as at room temperature. I'm planning on trying it again in the morning.
Anyone have any ideas on what is different between their add packs?
The Q horsepower spec sheet says the 5w30 flash point is 440 C. Is that right? PP is only 224. Wouldn't that make Q horsepower a better high heat oil?

Both the Q TorquePower and the Q HorsePower are full synthetics typically using Group III but may contain Group IV/V. The additive systems are completly different between the two. Among the other differences, one was optimized to maximize power under low speed conditions (high torque) while the other was optimized to maximize power under high speed/high temperature (high horsepower) conditions.

The 440 is F and the 224 is C. 440F is 227C, so they're nearly identical.

I thought it was probably a misprint, but it says 440 C for many of their oils and 2?? C for a few.
Someone wasn't paying attention when they put the data sheets together.

which you will never see, ever.. And if you did, your oil is the last thing I would be worrying about since everything else will be melting all around you.

Last time I checked, I believe the Horsepower had a lower **sic** pour point across the board and seemed pretty close to Pennzoil Platinum...

Thanks!
Ferndog, can you comment on what base oils Pennzoil Platinum is using currently?
