The testing he did did not follow proper protocols for oil testing.
His mistakes were brought up by many in SpeedTalk.

I just went back & re-read it. I can't find that part? All I saw was more guys talking about how long they drive between oil changes. Could you provide a link to that information? What he discribed sounds like what I was shown at the local Sun refinery lab many years ago.

Vic , I use 10w30 valloline VR1 works well , cam lasts 2 years , bearing no problems . The 5w30 pennzoil ultra syn maybe better or lucas 10w30 race syn. ( sponsorship ). Whats better for the rings I would ask Bub . He told me its gotta say its for racing .

The three race engine builders I respect most, of those who I am acquainted with, all tell me to seat the rings with Joe Gibbs BR30. I have been running Valvoline 10W30 racing oil in the black bottle this past year, NAPA store here has it in 6qt boxes. Cleanest oil filters I have had, can hardly tell the coated bearings have been run. Used to buy and carry Royal Purple "Race9" 0W10 oil in case I ever felt like I needed to "hop it up". After reading that I have wondered about Mobil1's 0W20 gas mileage oil for that. Would not be as hard to throw that much cheaper oil away after 1 or 2 passes. :-)

His testing methods are debunked by many including a post from the BradPenn Rep.
