How does a lifetime fluid work if a particular owner beats the snot out of their engine and transmission with jack rabbit starts and stops, burnouts, extended high rpm runs, etc? Or is it the case that only engines are susceptible to "severe" service?
What does "lifetime" mean? First owner? Warranty period? Up to 100K-150K miles? 200K miles? 300K miles? Unlimited?
I think Lifetime means until the warranty period has expired.
Quite frankly, I don't think we formulators or additive suppliers are at the point of developing "Lifetime" fluids with the current technologies.
