Very brief, I see this oil where I work and it catches my eye. It is a 15W-40 and we can see from the label that it clearly has the diesel certification as well as the API gasoline certification. I was debating on using this as a PCMO.
I am living somewhere where it will very likely be 80 or above on Christmas Day or at least very warm all the time and downright hot in the summer... plenty of people say that that won't exactly matter for the viscosity of motor oil and to use what your car says to use. Some say the only thing using a thicker oil will do is get you reduced gas mileage. Some say it protects better. MOFT.. However.. this oil has me curious about how it would do not only in constant hot, but also around its 15w specification and what temperature (New England winter, could it work?) would push its limit.
It says it has the Moly so it's kind of like an American Liqui-Moly oil.. does not say what kind of Moly or that other oils also have Moly.
Says semi-synthetic which has me wondering its base stock composition.
Realizing that this was not a PCMO, I made this thread here to not only discuss the oil itself but also if it would be suitable as a PCMO.
