How does the hours mentioned in the motor wear test correlate to real usage? In the test results the Mobil seems to drop significantly after 75 hrs but what does that mean in the real world.
Can they correlate hours to actual miles on an engine? For example, does a 7500 mile change interval equal say a 25 to 50 hr life range. I would expect Castrol performance to perform better as the test progresses for an extended OCI oil
Given that engines are already last the usual life of most vehicles with regular change intervals, how will anyone actually see these results unless they want a longer OCI?
Unless we are just trying to reduce oil use in general (less to recycle), Edge does not seem to be cost effective. A truly cost effective oil would give you better cost per mile...
Of course, I bet Amsoil is just ticked that Castrol is hypng stuff they have been doing for years.
There is no secret here. Castrol will get some early sales but since the buying public is NOT going to accept longer OCI's quickly (remember the original M1) it will be short lived when all the other oil sells market similar oils.
