pscholte: what do you mean "Gold is indeed... Gold." ? Do you still believe it is a good product?
I think the question is not if the Gold is a good product.quote:

Let me say this BRUCE 381 really knows his lubricants, so guys please dont *** him off we need people like him on this site. He did this all for free , and is not trying to sell you anything. There was a guy named CARPY on here who convinced a lot of people on this site that Mobil Drive Clean was group 111 base stock a lot of people fell for it ,and went out and purchased this junk . So dont get deceived by Castrol latest bait and switch. OH YEAto BRUCE 381.
Excuse me if I missed it, but where has it been proven otherwise?quote:

pscholte: I have no grudge against Castrol, and I think my comment quoted again above clearly states that I make decisions based on science and the info avilable from many sources, including the good people of BITOG Forums. I am also a Mech Eng and EE, and our R&D Lab gives access to some very sophisticated analysis tools, including MS's and GC's - at least as good as any of the labs cited here.
I have about 20 oils in my home "lab" right now, and some of it is Castrol 0w30 - German, Bulgarian, Argentine, it matters not to me.
Nor am I a base stock snob either - I have had excellent results with GII/GIV blends like LE 8130 for example, even though I was one of the first Red Line dealers on the East Coast (and still listed by them as part of my Corvette restoration side business).
So I think we are in agreement, substantively. I would use boar mucous in my car if it posted a good UOA!!! **** thing is those boars do not want to give it up lightly.
