Don't know if it is correct, but if it is I may have been spending too much money on oil. LOL

Excellent reading. Very eye opening to some facts and myths.

An extremely long diatribe obviously extolling the benefit of "Oil Extreme Concentrate".

However, that being said, "Your results may vary".

Great article though!

The author of the article is very well known in SpeedTalk for a lot of fluff and inaccuracies on many discussions. His statements do not have accurate testing procedures or enough data for his conclusions.

His arguments have been destroyed by many NASCAR and OEM engineers that are members of SpeedTalk.

Adger told me the same thing. He does toot his own horn, calling himself "a highly respected engineer". Not unlike many engineers I encounter. LOL

From the article, I got (without the additives) the following:

4. 5W30 Motul 300V Ester Core 4T Racing Oil, synthetic = 112,464 psi
This Motorcycle Road Racing oil is from France

8. 10W30 Lucas Racing Only synthetic = 106,505 psi

9. CFS 0W30 NT Millers Nanodrive Racing Oil, API SM synthetic = 105,907 psi.
This oil is from England

10. 5W30 Mobil 1, API SN synthetic = 105,875 psi

12. 0W30 Amsoil Signature Series 25,000 miles, API SN synthetic

From my own reading , I would get an oil that STARTED with 0W & then your pref ....
