Sum Oz oyls make molasses in December (here) look thin
I just stashed the VOA stats here since I seem to keep losing them from my PM stash. I figure that they'll stick around here.

What's the intended use for this stuff? Looks like an attempt to make a really stout "efficiency" oil.
We all know what Gary uses this oil for...

The wife's 4.0 jeep TJ.
Guys ..one OCI typically won't grenade an engine. The most any of us (probably) would see is just a little elevated wear. The 4.0 has been on 5w-20 for about 20k+/- ..and although UOA hasn't been stellar ..it hardly constitutes dread and fear. Fuel issues, once cleaned up, reduced wear by a decent amount.
I wanted to put it in the Taurus ..but my daughter moved away and I don't see the car often enough to keep an eye on it. Her and her boyfriend are just too busy to worry about it. She doesn't use too much oil over 6 months ..but she's also not all that critical about subtle differences. Her 91 3.0 Vulcan does just peachy on MC 5w-20

It tell Dr Haas to use this oil every time he starts a "what thin oil for my other exotic car" thread. He has not taken the suggestion to my knowledge.
Gary, your results with that 4.0 have me thinking about giving a 20wt a try in my 4.0 OHV Ford (about the only engine Ford did not retospec. to 20wt.) I have a significant stock of PP 5W and 10W-30 to work through first though.

This is stuff I've had for some time. I was just frustrated in publishing UOA (still working on them) due to my test vehicle being stolen. I think I've had the 0w-10 for over a year.

so does he make this stuff any more?
I know mola wasn't in the business, for a while at least.
Would be interesting doing a project on my rig, because the oil temps stay very stable.
The benefits of a thinner oil would be very apparent, I also spend about 40k a year on fuel.

He never really made the stuff, per se~. I'd have to call it a limited edition. He just threw it together (actually, I'm sure that he measured carefully) for an experiment that I was conducting. He didn't like what he saw in a spot UOA and reformulated. I'm using the leftovers trying to get one bona fide Dyson analysis out of two vehicles.
