The end result of a test of performance motor oil

Hey guys
Everyone here especially me had a weird fascination on what oil is best and what oil also one has the best protection for out engines under daily driving and heavy stress wot driving

Also which oil generates the least friction/ great performance.

After hours of searching I have found a very interesting article that people using Mobil 1 may find shocking..

(Glad I use royal purple)

Anyways it's not perfect, I.e they use different weights but they use the top weight in each brand
And also there testing method is a little questionable they have put a lot of time and effort into this and the results are as follows

I think this is not 100 percent spot on but I think it's worth knowing and having a read.

Thanks

Yeah that's what I thought may have to try the penrite just based on its api standards and is cheaper

But even the pressure the oil can withstand is a huge huge difference aswell

Every test has arguable flaws so I don't really take it into consideration

Needs to have Nulon synthetics in the test too :)

god I haven't seen that article since I was an apprentice. from memory, that article was from 2005. most of the oils are different now to back then, but it was an interesting test.

gatesy, I have never seen as much oil consumption and engine failure issues as I have with castrol edge. I wouldn't use it in my worst enemies car.

My daily often burns through its oil in less than a month, so maybe I could drain the relatively new oil in my MR2 (Elf something or other) and use it to top up my daily haha. Then I would have an excuse to try Royal Purple now instead of waiting for my scheduled oil change in the MR2, which only had an oil change very recently.

Just saying
Royal purple should pay me a commission just got 2 new customers for them..

No I have nothing but good things to say about there oil only bad thing was the price tag
But that test just shows what you pay for..

Penrite recently changed their line up, I think the synthetic 5 is now called 10 tenths premium 5. I'd be interested to see how the new fully synthetic HPR 5 goes, I've heard good things and after speaking with a few people in the field have gone with their transgear for my E51, fingers crossed. 

I used to have an old Datsun 200B that seemed to use more oil than fuel.  I used Mobil 1 Fully synthetic in it...... straight from the sump of my dads car!!
