Unveiling the Superiority of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Oil: A Detailed Analysis by Mr. Lake Speed Jr.

[TiGeo]

At OCIs over 13k, the PUP was still in grade and had plenty of reserve TBN. At the 17.1k sample, there was some slight oxidative thickening but TBN was still OK and insolubles were 0.2 IIRC… talking with HPL he said this is normal, and would personally determine condemnation of the service interval when the oil crosses into the next higher grade if TBN and flash point were acceptable, so if I had kept the car I probably would have pulled back to a 15k OCI.

Obviously trends tell the rest of the story of how the oil is doing, and even on the 17k run, iron wear was only 1.1ppm/1k mi. I’m not saying every engine can run 15k on PUP, but I am saying I’m at least as correct as the people who’ve never used PUP yet claim the oil is not capable of extended UOAs, since I ran 8 or 9 different UOAs of increasing distances on it to generate data and come to my conclusions.

Got it/makes sense so longer OCIs bacjex by UOA.

Lol. No.

LOL .. and you know this how?

LSJ has an oil testing business...that's how he makes his living.

And who pays him to test?

I proved to you guys years ago based on UOAs that PUP was better than the critics said it was, so it’s quite bittersweet to see some of you fawn all over today like there’s some magical revelation thanks to LSJ

I went 17k+ on PUP about 4 years ago and some folks said I was crazy and that PUP wasn’t fit to be a long drain oil…

You proved it to me with that over 15k run in your ford which I cut the Napa platinum filter open and saw the cleansing/cleaning

Lake Speed Jr not only owns Speediagnostix but is also VP at Total Seal. He does tech talks at racing events across the country as well as a video podcast called Hidden Horsepower where he, Don McAskill, Joe Castillo, Billy Godbold, Benjamin Strader, Matt Hartford, and many other big names in high end engine building and racing dig deep into technical topics. Their most recent one was a really good one about exposing the flaws in A-B-A testing. He's very well versed in what he does. If he advises something, you can take it to the bank.

Then, what kind of people are deleted?

I would assume folks that request to be deleted would be deleted? I recall we've had members do that in the past, request to have their account removed and the admins obliged.

Some just have a deletist attitude - so what difference does it make?

Ahhhh. That makes sense now. You should be able to take your content with you

You seem to enjoy this more than most. Did you know the deleted user?

With the complete lack of grammar and sentence structure it's very difficult to follow your posting.

Like a ransom note. ;-)

This is an LSJr oil related thread ... not a who deleted who and why thread.
Stick to the topic at hand or this gets locked.

* People can request to have their accounts deleted; it is handled through the admin. Enough said about that.

Here's the data from earlier, sorry. 2011 Fusion, 2.5 MZR, 6F35. I'd say there's evidence that Pennzoil may actually be under-marketing PUP, given what their competitors claim these days...

Main issue will be with long drains is fuel and oxidative thickening but even those look ok in that last one.

LSJ also did some work for/with the Joe Gibbs Corp and Driven Racing motor oils a few years back. He definitely has been around n involved in racing and street application lubrication testing for quite some time.
