When can we expect to see reporting of actual NOACK values for all Pennzoil products, 0w-16 included?
Noack volatility numbers have been the only reason I began to use Pennzoil products, and with them no longer listed I am seeking other oils now. I know many others in the same camp. If a product is truly superior, would you not want to make it known to the informed consumer that is not affected by advertisement efforts?
