Hopefully it wasn't a repost but I found this very interesting. I've been using Castrol Edge since i got the car but I guess not anymore. May switch to Mobil 1. Would have loved to see Shell in that mix up as well.

EDIT: Upon reading the comments, one mentions that the Motul 8100 X-cess is 5w-40 and it is true, making it unfair for Motul.

I want to see which one protects the best, not makes the most power. Get 5 identical brand new motors (make it 6 and include Shell).

Set them all up on an engine dyno and use a different oil in each.

Run them for 3 days straight, drop oil.

Run them again for 3 days straight through a varying load pattern, drop oil.

Run them against the rev limiter for a full 24 hours, drop oil.

Run them non stop for a week without an oil change, drop oil.

Now pull down the motors and see which oil was the true champion. Also send off all oil samples for analysis see which ones retained their lube properties the best.

That's a test I'd love to see.

Hasn't this Nulon marketing BS been covered before?

yes it has.

higher HP doesn't = protection. if you put olive oil in the engine it would probably make more HP than any of those, however the engine might not survive the drive home.

cowboy, that will give you a rough indication, however you still have to take into account different tollerances in each engine, etc.

    • With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
