this months oil change

[bigmanoncampus]

today I changed my oil and I am conducting an experiment.
My vehicle takes 6 qts oil. I used 2 qts Mobil 1, 2 qts Valvoline syn power, 2 qts amsoil all 5w30. I will do a used oil analysis when the oil change is due.

I predict you'll get 2.5X better wear.

 

[StevieC]

While leaving your wallet 2.5x lighter?

Not to be picky, but it is Mobil not mobile and Valvoline not Valvoline.

Carry on.

What with all the advertizing hype these days, I wonder if the Synpower will attack the Mobil 1 in your crankcase, rip the vii out of it.

This is an experiment in the sense of let's try this and see if anything happens. I predict no significant results compared to if you ran any one of the three subject oils. But hey, do a used oil analysis. Worst that can happen is something bad and that way we'll see.

I doubt someone who can't spell Mobil and Valvoline correctly is going to figure out something that the engineers couldn't.
now, if you were mixing different coffee beans, well, that's a different story.

 

[GatorJ]

OK. If the used oil analysis shows something significantly better or worse than normal, how are you going to have any idea what to attribute that to?

TO conduct an experiment:

Since you have done none of that and just want to see what happens, its going to be a waste of time, money(on used oil analysis), and oil.

But whatever makes ya happy!

No one has even mentioned that the OP seems to be using full synthetics, and changing his oil every month.
