Who's running High Performance Lubricants (HPL) products in their engine?

[RazorsEdge]

It may be a good idea to change the initial charge of oil early and not run an extended drain until the second fill.

David

Yeah I'm changing it at 5000 miles

 

[Thermo1223]

If I’m understanding things correctly from messages I’ve sent to David, unless you require the premium VII with an extremely oil taxing engine that requires the extra shear stability the standard line of PCMO is all you need

OK So I can save a little money. I mean other than DI it's a pretty mundane V6. Nothing fancy and other than a few WOT romps it never is stressed via towing.

Just use their PCEO 5W30.

I soon will be. Have 6 quarts of HPL 5w20 for my 2002 Ford F-150 FX4 4.6 and
6 quarts of 0w16 for our 2020 Toyota Rav 4 XLE ordered as I type this.
From everything I've read and studied, HPL is an EXCELLENT motor oil.
I can hardly wait until our next oil change!

Cleaner is in both vehicles with fresh sumps to clean into.

The titan has a 5 year old ultra with 20K on it through 3 Oci's plus this last cleanup.

I hated dumping a sweet idemitsu zepro 5-30 into a " cleaning run", but it was my oldest lowest rated jug....

titan has a 5 year old ultra with what will be 20K and 3 oci's on it. Real curious to see whats in it.

1993 Volvo 240 sedan, 228k at oil and filter change

Hoping for a 10k OCI, I’ll test at 6k.

Pretty soon I’ll be putting HPL5w20 no VII in the focus with a prime guard or MC FL-910S filter for 5k oci

What is your goal for running the no VII?

Same question for you - why the no VII vs. the normal Euro oil?

Same, but in my Ram. Nowadays, it takes me almost a year to reach 5K.

I have a bias towards lower VII oils.

I’m sure either grade will perform well.

 

[The Critic]

What is your goal for running the no VII?

The Euro No VII 5W20 has a HT/HS that exceeds most 5W-30 oils - so arguably, there could be an improvement in wear protection in a XW-20 application.

 

[53' Stude]

What is your goal for running the no VII?

I want in my opinion a oil that proves results. And im happy to support HPL, not some “corporation”

I have saw results members here post as well. So my “goal” is to use a top notch product

 

[TiGeo]

Goal is changing the oil less often. I hope that will be a 10k OCI.

No reason not to use either Euro or No VII Euro. I’m sure either grade will perform well.

I admit I have a bias towards lower VII oils.

Yes, but why the no-VII vs. the regular HPL stuff? Are you having shearing issues?

Thank You for saying what I wanted to say sir

Better HTFS viscosity ... no VIIs to make the temporary full shearing viscosity drop as far. Of course, may not need that unless you're really beating the engine with high RPM ... but call it "headroom".
