you might want to rethink what you know about oil

Thats been discussed before a lot. Not sure what parts of it to trust or not. Need real SAE-style rigorous tests to decide, not that.

That is an advertisement for the additive you see so many times plugged in the "test".

As discussed before, I'll follow that list when I want my Timken machine to not wear out...engines...:meh:

I still like the Lucas display with all the gears.

This should get interesting. Frankly I have been using 0-20 for several years now and both engines show no outward sign of engine wear. I even used M1 5-20 in the 70s in engines calling fo 10-40 with very good results.

You might want to try the search feature. This has been posted here at least 10 times by now. Still waiting for someone to explain to me how this is applicable to a car engine.

I AM IMMEDIATELY SKEPTICAL OF SOMEONE WHO HAS TO USE ALL CAPS TO GET ATTENTION AND MAKE THEIR POINT.

This Engine Test Guide uses a lot of motored valvetrains, a more realistic oil test. They say: "Tests can be conducted in any or all of the following: ==== Special test stands to simulate the component environment ==== Motored cylinder heads or engines ==== Firing engines, with and without dynamometer loading ==== Vehicles on test tracks or on chassis dynamometers" Engineers use pin-on-disk as a quick way of showing they have good mixed boundary performance or not. The pin on disc test has proved useful in providing a simple wear and friction test for low friction coatings such as diamond-like carbon coatings on the valve train. It DOES have validity. Yet it doesn't always work since various components might surf on the oil film differently.

This again. This junk gets posted at least monthly by some new member who thinks they've found something special,when in reality the only thing special here is how little this stupid test represents a running engine.

 

[Merkava_4]

That's a long article, has anyone read the whole thing ?

 

[dparm]

tl;dr

 

[yvon_la]

No mobil delvac1 le5w30?at 42 $ us for 3.78 quarts i would think this is a great oil.i guess it isnt.

 

[OneEyeJack]

This is the longest advertisement I've ever seen. I could not get thru it, especially the shameless product plugs.

Did some of you folks notice how NASCAR race teams changed oil, read the whole article.

And that means what?

No, I'm pretty certain that a poorly written article will not be enough to make me rethink anything. I'll change it with what I please and when I please, and I'll also sleep well at night.

...still reading it.
