PP is good. Syntec is good

Just because the oil did better in there tests does not mean it will be better in.your engine.


here is a chart of oils ran in the VQ



Nothing here screems at amsoil being king, I do not think its worth the cost > Castrol Syntec

^ True oils perform differently in different engines, but those are very old comparisons and very out-dated for the VQ. Resolute has yet to update with current UOA compiled results. He took those old averaging comparisons off his thread a long time ago for that reason and also for another... Proprietary oil formulations change all the time.

I meant to say mobile one 0w40.
That's mostly a Group IV (PAO) base with Group II+ or III to hold the add pack in solvency. One of their better formulations if you're a loyal M1 user imo.

Your vids:
IMO, it's not the oil (unless you're low on oil) but rather an internal metallurgy condition.

^ they might be outdated, but look into recent UOA most of the ones I looked at which were green on that chart are still good now.

anyhow He should have a new chart out soon.

I could careless if the noise was there before the oil change, but after oil change, I hear the noise.

Hey, will i be ok if i add some Mobile 1 5w30 or 10w30 in to my engine because the dipstick reads little less than high Point.

Hate on. They are pointless if you dont understand them. Im not a fluid engineer, nor do i do the studies and testing. That is their job. Not mine. Im going off of experience from several good friends that track their built cars at virginia intl raceway. Usually they have to rebuild their engines every 3 good full running days from being at the track and they are averaging 10-11 runs now since they have switched to amsoil. If never heard of anything bad from amsoil. Its all been good reviews from what Ive read and word of mouth. Its personal preference.
