Synthetic Motor Oil Poll 2017

[Ramnewbie]

A little off topic here but has anyone heard that deer meat lowers blood pressure and cholesterol? Some guy was at the DRS office the other day and said he knew someone that went 100% deer meat and no longer needs blood pressure or colesterol medication?

I get farm fresh grass feed beef and its way better then what they sell in the stores, its super lean and taste way better.
Kinda like farm fresh eggs are way better than whats in the stores.

If you stick with fresh meat and veggies, even fruit, you are doing a great thing for your body. It is soon as you add starch that you get issues.

Next time we all shoot the ****, let's do it in other thread?

Uhhhhh, is this where the syn oil thresd used to live? In case it is, wanted to get your feelin's on these pics. This is after my 45 mile ride home from work today. One moving 40 mph and the other idling in my driveway. Typically run this rig kinda hard. Running 0w40 PUP, 10-48 RP filter. '17 2500 CC LB 6.4 4.10s.

I have a 1500 with 5.7L , but I believe your #s look spot on for running a little hard on a cooler day .

Looks about like mine. No worries there.

They look like the algorithm is working as designed; to ensure customer expectations are met.

 

[69GWC]

Just as one would expect.

awesome...lol

We have truly reached the point where technology doesn't make stuff better anymore, IMHO.

Or are the bean counters stopping this from happening.

Yeah, oil is no different. Exactly what change benefited oil formulations? You might make an argument low calcium was a benefit for di's, but every thing done to oil blows donkey balls. Tell uncle Obama to shove it, run a real stout oil or move over to super class 0w40's.

Yes, two things at play:
A. Using technology and engineering to reduce manufacturing cost, rather than improve performance and/or longevity. Bean counters call it Material Cost Management or MCM. My buddy, the retired AMC/Jeep/Mopar engineer calls it MCM=Make Customers Mad

B. Using technology for the sake of worthless gimmickery, or, like in this case, to give false indications. They don't save anything by reinterpreting the signal to give phony numbers, right? I understand smoothing the signal and all that, but showing bogus numbers is nothing short of asinine.

QSUD 5w30, Wix XP oil filter, Filtermag, 119.2 engine hours on oil. And a huge drop in copper, 271 ppm to 144ppm.

 

[69GWC]

QSUD is good stuff used it for many years and normal QS before I went with synthetics.

Qsud seems highly regarded around here , I think Smiley really likes it too .
You hear lots of good about it and never real any bad ...
Lots of Magnesium !
Decent amount of Molybdenum as well , more than any 30 wt I've seen other than RL @500 ppm .

PYB had 180+ moly. I know its not a syn but its a good oil with a strangely bad rep for some reason.

 

[R.L.K.]

I think PYB is the best dino oil available today !
