I'm trying to decipher the better oils to put in for my first oil change in my supercharged 2012 Mustang GT.
Originally I had considered Amsoil Signature Series and Royal Purple. (Running Amsoil in my 2015 Ram Hemi)
However after much reviews online looking at everything from flash point, NOACK, Shear Stability, TBN, wear test PSI and all that fun stuff I was surprised to find out from this guy https://540ratblog.wordpress.com/2013/06/20/motor-oil-wear-test-ranking/ that some of the oils that had generally very good specs did not perform well on the WEAR test....which in my understanding is the last line of defense after the shear point, and all else fails.....so, as impartial as that seems these are my current oils in the veritable running as it were.....any thoughts for or against and why?
#1 Choice. Shells's Quaker State Ultimate Durability Full Synthetic
#2 Choice. Shell's Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic
#3 Choice. Amsoil Signature Series Full Synthetic
Looks as if I am returning the 10 liters of Royal Purple I purchased the other day.
Thanks for the input and info everyone, I do appreciate it.
Cheers!
