Are you undertaking the enormous feat of reading the entire thread sir? If so you are in for a treat. We have talked about LOTS of great topics on here. Had some heated disagreements to. As expected.

Enjoy the read sir. Its a LOT.

FYI:

Im coming up on a full year and probably around 8-9,000 miles running the Royal Purple spin on filter in my 66RFE and all is good. No noticeable changes whatsoever.

The filters are staying on this spring and im just pulling the drain plug for a “fluid change” only.

In 2021 the filters come off and I’ll obviously cut it open.

So if YOU were afraid to do it or waiting for my trans to blow up. I think your good.

Ronnie I guess Burrow just decided he was going to be the first draft pick 2020, lol. He is straight lighting it up. Cinci gets first pic, I hope not that is where careers go to die. Maybe detroit will get him somehow, I would like to see him at Skins too, maybe get off Alex Smith.

Where is Ron when you need him,

The basic concept of a jet engine is stupid simple. And the turbine is protected by a very generous film of oil. Basically never makes contact.

My best friend is now a delta pilot (proud of that boy[emoji4])and i get an ear full of this stuff often.

Question, could it be that GtL base oils are so pure that it doesn't hold additives as well as other base stocks? I like Pennzoil, I am sold on it, but I don't know any other oil that has as much additive fall out. Why do you think this is?

I wonder if there is an even simpler explanation: It's easy to see the fallout against the yellow bottle......
