Mobil 1 for awhile, then switched to Royal Purple

Both seem pretty great. I think after this next series of tests im going to report to you guys about which has a better friction coefficient and heat.

My uncle has a machine up at where he works that can test fluids like that.

im using(testing) Amsoil 0w-30, i got a connection at the local warehouse from working there a few summers ago, turns out if a box of fluid comes in off the truck with an oil stain everything inside has to be trashed but its the managers call on how to get rid of it. they are funny about overstock too.

but if they dont have what im lookin for at a given time and i had to pay for all my fluids ide use Mobil 1.

i wouldn't recommend running that thin, your seals will leak all over, and that thin will burn oil higher rate.

Actually its 5w-noobjuice

Do you really think Greddy has any idea how to refine or produce oil? Best case scenario, they get the product from someone else and bottle it as their own. If its not, and it really is in house, then use your logic and think about my first sentence lol.

Im not bashing, im just trying to save your motor.
