What Oil's meet what you have said here, Redline and HPL.
Redline with their best Oil and all of the HPL Oil's.
Amsoil SS has very high solvency too. I'm not sure about Red Line due to the type of POE they use. Not all esters are the same or have the same cleaning ability.
R&P has potential to be great for IVD's. Problem is there is no testing for this to really prove anything.

882, I'll stop here with the counting. I do hope you get the honor of carrying it across the 1K line. Stay tuned.
False. This is an AI generated comment and the thread doesn’t even exist. In fact, nothing is real. Everything that you don’t like is immediately a hoax or conspiracy.

I've never seen anyone here report on engine "issues" due to lengthy OCIs or the use of oil filters for multiple changes either.
For me VPR is another tool in the box. Something I may use if needed down the road. Currently using Ultra Platinum, which not too long ago was among the best at removing deposits and keeping an engine clean.
Probably because that stuff is as thin as water.
That and only one UOA. I remain curious but in need of more objective data.
Really. You mean it doesn’t meet the viscosity requirements for the SAE grade that’s printed on the container?
And how does the viscosity affect the cleaning ability? Technical reasons, please. Otherwise I’ll just chalk this up as another one of your goofy posts.
If you go to Walmart for an OCI you can get the VRP. How would you know if they actually used it? The WM I went to today did not have and VRP on the shelves in 5 qt or 1 qt. Long line at counter to ask and verify if they actually had it in the shop. The WM about 10 minutes from there does have the VRP on the shelves.

Not butt hurt, it is valid. Has an API donut on the bottle.LOL Butt hurt.
Redline does have oils with great NOACK Numbers and HTHTS Numbers, Amsoil can be in the same boat, but a step behind, whether this means anything is debatable. I have a thought, but I cannot prove it, but I will say it from what I have seen on this board, I feel HPL Oil will clean better than VRP.
That's because everyday Joe can't detect a small change in wear. Engines still run pretty good when they are pretty worn out, and most need it to either see a drastic change in the engine health or have it "blow-up" to say there was some kind of cause and effect. Doing too long of OCIs and running oil filters too long, or using low efficiency oil filters can indeed cause more engine wear. But people will say there's no ill effects from doing so because their engine didn't "blow-up". There are a whole lot of things that can happen before the "blow-up" stage, lol.
Can the experts at BITOG detect a small change in engine wear?
And do those wearing components affect the useful life of the product?
Understood. I wouldn't be surprised though if a member here did indeed know that their non OEM extended OCI interval caused issues, but kept quiet due to embarrassment.
No, they cannot, but they can give you some very good advice.
