I did enough reading to know who you are.No need to even google. He's on page 4628 of this thread, he simply needs to start at page 1. Some light bedtime reading ought to fill in the fuzzy spots for him.
No hard feelings.I did find his post amusing and probably shouldn't have.
Not trying to be "that guy" but you will save a lot of time going through this thread starting at page 1. it will help answer the questions you have asked. Also take a look at the Blackstone UOA thread "is a sticky" and you will see what oil/s are the best for these hemi's proven time and time again. The proof is out there, just takes some light reading.I did enough reading to know who you are.

Mechanical problem? I say lubrication problem, and yes it does as a matter of fact, 80% of the time. This guy was correct with one caviot, he missed the mark on zddp and aw additives because hemi tick is too aggressive for aw additives, as it turns out EP additives where the trick, proven many times over. We tried zddp additives with little to no success. To date redline and lubegard biotech are the only two proven tick killers with 0w40 amsoil showing some promise. Most of the guys didnt mess with 0w40 redline, it was 5w40 that was just as good at killing tick as redline 0w30 and 5w30, once again even 5w20 kills it's share of ticks, only ticks that are more pronounced. 5w20 and 5w30 amsoil faired very poor, but not to be discouraged, most if not all brands were the same. If you have any power at amsoil, clone 5w30, 0w30, and 5w40 redline and call it hemi oil and we will all switch over and kick ass.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.
The goal of the exercise is to get simple, concise, and well articulated responses. That saves a lot of time and "beating oneself up" what lubricant to use, along with the "self-second-guessing" and "buyer's remorse" that comes with it.

I saw that one also. Good video, and good oil.I see another Project Farm aficionado. Because you can appreciate the excellent coffee pot cook-offs that Todd engages in, you might enjoy the following video:

Amsoil or Pennzoil, which wins Championship? Let's find out!
Amsoil Signature Series 5W-30 100% synthetic motor oil competes against Pennzoil Ultra Platinum full synthetic 5W-30 motor oil in the oil championship finale...www.youtube.com
This undoubtedly shows who's the undisputed king of motor oil.
My BIL adds MMO to the crankcase. He loves the stuff. I think he uses it as aftershave, too!
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.
I love that, I like those guys. Dig the silk screening, lol.Now I understand why there way be imperfections

Wait, so they arent posting their own specs?Anyone who is on bitog have a clue why some companies such as m1 is ditching the posting of all measures of viscosity except at 40, 100, and pour point? So no ccs, mrv, hths, or noack?
Not a clue. Mobil 1 FS 0w40 has every spec under the sun listed on the PDS except for noack other than that they dont tell you much anymore.Anyone who is on bitog have a clue why some companies such as m1 is ditching the posting of all measures of viscosity except at 40, 100, and pour point?
