Question on Testing

[Storm897]

Car: 2001 Honda Civic EX (61,490 miles)
I am currently in the process of using an Auto-RX treatment in my Manual Transmission & Oil. Once I finish the treatment I want to try Castrol GTX 0W20 with Shaeffers #132 EP. My reason is that the Castrol GTX 0W20 seemed to hold up well in a post someone posted (Contained ~254 Moly after 5k miles). Shaeffers #132 EP is highly regarded but doesn’t have much Moly, as posted in this topic, http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000933 Who can I send the Oil to so it will be analyzed and how much $$$ does it cost.

Thanks in advance,
Oren

Thanks Vetteman.

Does my idea sound like a good one for trying on a 2001 Honda Civic EX or am I wasting my time. If I am wasting my time please recommend a different mixture on my 2001 Honda Civic? I might tryMobil 1 0w20 after this test and compare my results.

Its my understanding LC helps keep the oil clean so you can go farther. The #132 is a additive that will provide the boost you need to go the extended miles I THINK. I add the #132 after about 2000 miles. Hope this helps.

Crrection:
In first post I meant 5W20 Castrol.

What might be more beneficial(Protect against Cold starts and engine wear)?
1.) Castrol GTX 5W20 with Shaeffers #132 EP
2.) Castrol GTX 5W20 with Lube Control

Thanks,
Oren
