Tests dynamic wear load protection, flash points, breakdown temps etc.
Just points of reference:
The miller nano drive (0w30) rates at 105k psi (Excellent), but the Amsoil 0w30 is also at 105k psi and it's readily available and less money.
Even the Pennzoil High Mileage 5w-30 Conventional scores a 102k psi.
The Motul 300V 5w30 Racing oil scores 112k psi... BUT it's a racing oil so you're forgoing your additives and detergents that are important for a street driven engine.
For reference I run Amsoil 0w30 all year long in my FRS. |
I had fun with it. It's meaningless.
He should conduct these "tests" based on the ASTM tests used by the oil industry, but he can't afford it.

As per the other times that this has been posted (this week even), he's using one parameter that if you reach it you have already failed in lubricating your engine to state that any given oil is better than any other.
His testing method is not representative of any place in any engine that you or I are ever going to see.
And his conclusions have absolutely nothing to do with the parameter of choice by which he ranks them.

And for the record, Motul 300V does have enough detergents to handle a ~6k mile OCI with no problem. There are several uoa's in the long uoa thread.
