Synthetic Oil

[HEMIMANN]

Well Eric, I confess I don't have much stomach for your brand of drama. Since the mods get uneasy as well I suggest you stop responding to me and I'll do the same.

Just block the troll and be done with it.

Now to be fair, show @Hemi395 's newer oil choice

That shaeffers 0w40 does not look like a winner, holds that screw diver upright. Now in fairness he went too low in that test -56.

How about pennzoil 0w20 versus amsoil...

But the dude is just going too cold with his tests.

I asked him multiple times for m1 FS 0w40. Id much prefer he tests it at -20 or -30

 

[Yardbird]

In the test I have seen comparing Pennzoil vs Pennzoil, the Ultra Platinum flows cold much better than Platinum. The synthetic blend flowed better than Platinum when cold.

How do you guys feel about seafoam in gas and crankcase? Stumbled across this video where Project Farm clears up lifter tick in a ranger, I'm shocked at how well that worked but those lifters must not have had any physical damage if seafoam can clear it up?

Seafoam--can't believe what it did to my engine!!

Not sure about using fuel system cleaner in a crankcase. Could be too aggressive? I think they make motor flush additives. I used some in my crappy GM 5.3 DOD engine to loosen the rings enough to get rid of it.

Many years ago we would use this stuff: https://rislone.com/products/maximum-performance-engine-treatment/

Personally I would not use Seafoam in my oil, Seafoam contains

Naphtha	25 – 35 %
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)	10 – 20 %

There was a feller here, I haven't seen him post anything lately, that he used Sea Foam about five hundred miles shy of his HEMI's oci.

I have used it in the gas tank ... couldn't tell any difference how my HEMI ran.

Waste of money? Maybe/maybe not. I wouldn't use it in the engine crankcase.

Honestly that SS 0w40 is impressive stuff

somebody did have it clear their tick so they said, maybe more should try it, dunno. It cleans and thins a but, it wont be adding film or plate or anything like that.

I don't see it as a lubrication strategy, maybe an maintenance item. If all my dyi oil looks good, I don't think I'd be using a flush, but if I had signs of sludge I'd run some flush, maybe sea foam or something stronger kano labs stuff.

Well, we tested amsoil versus redline in hemi tick, and I'm sure you can respect the results, redline simply killed most ticks and amsoil not. There is some good news lately as our tester number one has his seal of approval on 0w40 amsoil for it's tick killing ability, but in a hemi tick engine you mise well put sand in there over 20 or 30 weight amsoils. I'm sure you will appreciate this as well? Amsoil makes some fine products but hemi's don't lie, lesser formulas are exposed. That api amsoil fuel economy resource conserving climate change SS 5w30 and 5w20 just doesnt get the job done on hemi tick engines.

My BIL adds MMO to the crankcase. He loves the stuff. I think he uses it as aftershave, too!

What is the "HEMI Tick" exactly? What causes it? Or is it just how the HEMI naturally sounds? What is the difference between AMSOIL SS 5W-20/5W-30/0W-40 and Red Line Oil's corresponding viscosities?

Marvel Mystery Oil is 99% Kerosene, about 100ppm of red dye, and the rest is Dichlorobenzene.

^^^ Are you kidding? ^^^

You haven't heard or read here in the RAMforum(s) about HEMI tick?

Do you even own a RAM with an HEMI?

I think that you might could educate yourself reading about the hemi tick issue(s) with the Gen lll Eagle engines in the forum?

 

[Hemi395]

Don't even need to search here, there's this nifty thing called Google

Read this, note polls, they are public, meaning 100's of respected ram members took part in testing because hemi tick is a scourge on ram owners. In the beginning we tested many oils and combo's, but as time passed most of us only went with what worked best, note the poll date was 8 years into our testing. Early results are in this thread. It is really about formula and not brand, there is a scientific reason why redline stops knocking lifters in the bore and other oils don't.

Hemi tick is a cam lobe pushing a lifter into the bore but the bore is not properly lubricated. As it turns out the heavy EP additives and base oils in redline compensate for the deficiency in oil more then all other choices with an 80% success rate. Now, a small number of those benefit from viscosity increases, it just depends on how bad the tick is. The worst the tick, the more heavy additives and saturated base oils work, the lesser the tick the more a heavy viscosity will work. In many cases it was 5w20 that killed the tick over any other oil, but some rams were more successful with 5w30, it is those trucks with lesser ticks then others. The greater the pressure, the more the conditions for EP additives to thrive.

Thanks. So, you're saying that RedLine can correct, or help correct, a mechanical problem? What's saturated base oils? I couldn't find anything on that.

Can you please the difference between Amsoil 5W-20, 5W-30, 0W-40, and Red Line 5W-20, 5W-30, and 0W-40? I'd like to know why where one works, the other doesn't.

Thank you.
