"slipperiest" oil

[westcoaster]

As the line that seperates GrpIII and Full PAO blurs, and the performance aspects of each as well blurs, there is only one question left to answer? Which of the most commonly availble PCMO is the most "Slippery". I know that with Mobil 1, the oil that I am currently using for both of my vehicles, is very slick to the touch. And if the only really last defining line is reducing wear in all aspects, then the most "Slippery" oil, or the oil with the most Friction Modifiers, should be the "Best"

IIRC, we've had this very same type of question before.

 

[bruce381]

not really known if takes a dynamic lab test to evaluate
at perhaps $50-100 per shot and that would be only the start no one quotes any friction numbers I know of.

The answer to that question could very well spark off WW3.

MAXLIFE! If you've ever watched it go down a funnel, you'd know what I mean.

What`s really cool is when the oil forms small drops that roll around the funnel like ball bearings and into the engine when you`re pouring it in!

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Redline is the commonly available through parts stores and internet mail order. It has more moly then anything else and combined with it's ester base stock's and PAO it is slick!This is why in spite of it's heavier viscosity and hths it usualy gives excellent MPG.

Too bad Redline UOA's aren't as slick...

Definitely. That's exactly how I described it when I saw it for the first time. Very neat!

 

[Lonnie]

Maybe your definition of what's a good uoa has to be changed. Red Line works well in daily drivers. I know I've got two.

 

[JohnBrowning]

CM, Redline turns in excellent UOA in a lot of applications. It does normaly need 2-3 OCI prior to sampling for a UOA. This has been discussed in detail for the last 4 years!

 

[westcoaster]

That is a valid point. With any new oil that is used in any engine, it has to take the new oil some time to "Wash" away the old oil before it has time to leave its own distinctive "Fingerprint" on the metal surfaces. It always gets me how BITOG members switch from brand to brand of oil at almost every oil change. I beleive that if you stick with one brand for a given number of oil changes, then you will know its true benefit.

Group III's have improved. And Group IV's stand still? No that makes little sense. Blurs in what way? To you? I would say there are substantial differences between these groups.

Slippery? At what level? Slipperiness to human tactile senses or optically may bear no resemblance with a boundary layer level or may not be the same as forming a hydrodynamic barrier.

All oils bead and bounce going down a funnel - so may do it better than others. Pretty cool - don't know how this reflects on lack of friction.

Slipperiest oil I have used was: MC
2nd most slippery: M1
3rd: Mobil Drive Clean
4th: PP

That's a nice clean concise, straight to the point answer; why can't the rest of you guys be like that?

To find out which is most slippery oil one must simply buy a slip and slide from Wal-mart...well as many slip and slides as oils gonna be tested...lube said slides with oil...you can only do one slide per day...would not be fair to jump and slide on slip and slide for Double Super Secret Oil...coated in Valvoline...record duration of slide...fasted slide will tell which oil is slipperiest...I already know answer because I have already conducted test...data is Super Secret...please do not share results of test with other Bitogers...

Yeah but how did.......never mind
