On my current OCI I have Valvoline EP 5w30 in my 5.0. Not upset with it at all, but I do enjoy running through here from time to time when it gets close to time for a OC to see if there is anything I just need to try (plus, I just like to see what's happening).
Had a buddy in our store the other day talking about Schaeffer's and his company using it and swearing by it. The high dollar oils hadn't really been on my radar since quitting Amsoil after not really seeing any benefits from spending $90+ an OC. Schaeffer's are relatively local to me, so I thought I'd do some reading anyway. In my recent searching and reading I went back to Valvoline's website and looked up the PI sheet for the EP 5w30 and just started comparing it to Schaeffer's and some other FS oils just for fun.
My question is, when you all cannot find some oil information (TBN, NOACK, HTHS, etc.) you're curious to know on BITOG, what are your go to sites? The comparison that has me intrigued is comparing Valvoline EP 5w30 to Valvoline FSHM Maxlife 5w30. On the PI sheets, you'd may as well consider it the same oil, but I would have to assume there are additives that are not the same that a VOA would help with, but I cannot find any. I know from reading other posts that EP has a good amount of moly, but where are you all finding this information? I have done broad searches as well as specific forum searches and after a bunch of reading, I don't really feel I have found what I am looking for and not sure if I am searching the wrong way or it just isn't on here. Thanks!
Here are those PI's for anyone interested:
