Two observations I have are these. Since I've changed to Edge 5W30 my pre-luber pump takes less time to pressurize the system first start of the morning. At temps of 30*F and lower Edge pumps through the system faster than M1 5W30, PYB 5W30, and SSO 0W30. All the way down to about -4*F the coldest I've had since I used Edge. Those oils and Edge are the only oils the engine has EVER seen. Adding MMO to the oil makes it pump up even faster in colder temps, [which is why I suggest to people on the fence about MMO to do their engine cleaning during the winter for added benefits of easier cold starting]. Having said all of that, adding the Bio Tech EP the oil pumps faster through the pre-luber, but not as fast as with the addition of MMO.
My second observation is this, after a measured run just shy of 20 miles, same ambient temps, no traffic, approximately the same speed and driving conditions. If I take my digital thermometer and measure the oil pan temp, at the same spot on the oil pan, my oil is about 4* F cooler. Understand this is in no means a scientific study, but I took enough pan measurements to come up with temp readings and was able to measure a difference. I wish I would have taken data for a 60 minute run before adding BTEP . Sorry I don't have the exact numbers I did these measurements a while ago. I don't calculate mpg in the E-150 so I can't comment on that.
I'm sure I'll catch some flames, please note these are "my observations", nothing more.
