Why isn't High Performance Lubricants advertised as a long OCI oil?

[DirectRejection]

Hasn't @wwillson gone more than 20,000 miles on an OCI using HPL?

wwillson's well-documented results are particularly impressive because his driving conditions present unusually challenging factors for the HPL 5W20 he uses.

You're getting some long drains as well, aren't you, and with a thinner-than-normal oil, too?

I will have some news in about a month Sir.

I've been brainwashed to think "thinner-than-normal oil" + very long OCI (e.g. 20K miles) = Walking on thin ice. Which may require an act of God or death to dissuade and/or deprogram! Not sure if a UOA will cut it for me.

Don't you mean driving ...?

5W20 is not "thinner than normal oil"...it IS normal oil.

From Direct Rejection's sig:

2022 Corolla Cross
HPL PP 0W8
85k Miles
30k mi OCI

I sometimes forget that people view a 20 grade oil as "thin."

Thought this was regarding a different poster's use of 5W20 and long drains.

I do, but I'm warming up to HPL's 20's. First 20's I've used in a while.

Just a chime in to say you're all acting like the Kardashians of the oil world.

And for the vast majority, no one cares about your oil drama, regardless of which side you're on.

And the Daytime Emmy goes to ... All of you.

Easy there Champ. This is an oil site. Oil related discussions will take place. Don't get stressed out, it will be okay.

These threads always devolve into pages of worthless vowels and consonants and should be viewed like you're watching porn - Read the first two pages, skip everything in the middle and read the last two pages.

The hyperbole is large.

If that's the case, I think you need to increase your standard for porn. There's a lot of deep, passionate, and climatic plot points in those middle parts that you're really missing out on.

With its high quality base stocks and better ad pack why isn't it advertised as say a 20,000 mile OCI oil?

because a 20000 oci for a daily driver is stupid

Can you show us some data that backs that up rather than histrionics? I’m sure @High Performance Lubricants has data to back up their position. Your turn…
