In a nutshell: A magazine conducted a very interesting test. They compared the maximum loads -in lbs- that 18 different brand name synthetic and semi-synthetic oils could withstand before braking down. The data of the test demonstrates long term wear in a very short period of time. The results? Royal Purple, Penrite and Valvoline did the best. Mobile 1 and Redline were among the worst. I wish they would've tested Amsoil. http://www.animegame.com/cars/Oil%20Tests.pdf |
