screenguy and bandjoey - thanks for the info.
I went looking for on Jake's research. After many articles stating engine tear downs as part of their research, I couldn't find any articles discussing details of test procedures or measured wear differences between oils. That's not to say they don't exist, just saying it's not right out there in the open. I did find this chart on numerous web pages: http://lnengineering.com/resources/2014/02...bs-racing-oils/ From my experiences better numbers don't always mean observable or real differences. Here's an interesting read: http://www.xs11.com/xs11-info/xs11-info/ar...-july-1996.html Anyway, I'm not out to bash any product, just skeptical of a lot of oil claims when machining, metal quality, build quality, etc likely affect engine lifespan more than any of these high quality oils being discussed. |
