My guess is zero testing other than yep it spins on lolLike the more you see, who really thinks fca engineers did any testing with the small filter? They simply figured some dumb stuff we did requires a smaller filter, make it happen wipe my hands?
That looks like a beefed up additive package. ~800ppm of molybdenum compound? ~950ppm of ZDDP? The VOA shows P and Zn separately so that's a guesstimate on my part. Yeah, that motor oil won't have any problem protecting any engine that it runs in.Heres a VOA for HPLs "overkill" supercar 0w20
With trying to squeeze out as much HP out of a smaller displacement they need get rid of that extra heat by any means possible. I will take more cubic inches any day over these small motors.sad ecoboost
This was a redesign, like wtf? 2017 to 2020, some numb wit decided to run coolant channels between cylinders right up near head gasket, what could go wrong? A slit for coolant, lol? what good would that even do?

YUP, why I have a Hemi instead of a V6, now the E Torque V6, or a newer RAM. I be very happy with the aspirated motor, not racing, just runs better. But U know, other haters get on here, but my opinion is: Each to their Own. Why I would never buy a V6 truck, nor the Ford Turbo junk, or a brand new Chevy with a 2.7L turbo pulling a 6,000 lb truck, geez. But all this IMHO.With trying to squeeze out as much HP out of a smaller displacement they need get rid of that extra heat by any means possible.

YUP, not care if something is faster. Get me to Point A, B, A, have heat, AC, radio, I';s good.I will still take a natural aspirated over those small turbo engines.
It will never cease to amaze me how folks will jump over a dollar to save a dime, then try to polish the brass on the Titanic. During last year's 5+ dollar a gallon fuel, several of my customers decided to buy non top tier fuel to save maybe 50 cents per gallon on fill ups. This, in spite of me constantly cluing them in to the dire necessity of using top tier fuel.How much did you pay for your truck? Because these things go between 45k to 80k. Let's say you pay 50k for a nice Ram, are we really quibling about an extra 30 bucks twice a year for a top tier oil? I spend more on coffee in the drive through during that time period when it'd be far cheaper to make it at home.
Sometimes we're are our own worst enemy. I get it, I have the same instincts when it comes to not wasting money, but when it comes to my truck I've long accepted that it's going to cost a few bucks extra every month for proper gas (89 to 91) and proper oil.
After you make that decision and mentally set aside the budget for it, it hurts less when the time comes to put the cash on the counter

As someone that has to deal with his Kids car, Turbo GMs are trash !
Not denying your experiences, but care to elaborate?
I had no idea using TT fuel was a "dire necessity", since minimum standards for all fuels are already mandated. I totally agree TT is "better", and I use it 95%-98% of the time myself, but a gazillion miles are driven with the cheapest bargain gas people can find and their vehicles still outlast 200K miles.This, in spite of me constantly cluing them in to the dire necessity of using top tier fuel.
Sure enough, 3 of them cam in with check engine lights on, and ash on the spark plugs and on the oxygen sensors, sporting numerous DTC's. These 3 had to have new plugs, all the oxygen sensors, and new catalytic converters.
But by golly it gets great gas mileage before the head gasket blowssad ecoboost

This is Why the Ford 1.5L 1.6L 2.0L and 2.3L Ecoboost Engines are Gulping Coolant!
In this video we show you why the Ford 4 cylinder Ecoboost Engines are failing due to a block design defect. Forscan is a free Ford Specific Diagnostic Softw...youtu.be
COMPLETELY agree. Tired of telling my friends. They keep coming back with "all gas is the same". I have to repeat "yes, but not all additives or the amount of additives". Screw it.

The total tally on them was a lot. The savings was nil. In the big picture of life, there are few shortcuts which work effectively. The piper must be paid, so to speak.
The same goes for top tier oil.
