That's all fine and good, but Virgin Oil Analysis show the truth. You look at the VOA's of oils before the dexos spec, and then you go and look at a VOA of one now that has changed to meet the spec: Weak Sauce. Period. |

I used Royal Purple in my Ram 1500 Hemi. On the Camaro I had them use Mobile 1. Both good oils.

I will never understand people who care more about WHAT something is made out of rather than how it performs in measurable metrics, which is what actually matters.

I think you just don't want to accept the truth. The VOA's show they are weak from the beginning, and the UOA's coming in show that they perform weaker as well. Facts are facts. |

What's wrong with a Fram filter? I have used them on my vehicles forever, 2002 Silverado with 247,000 miles on it.

Actually not much. I do scope around every now and then, but I'm not a regular. Most of what I have learned is from owning my Dodge/Cummins. A diesel will test what an oil is capable of much more than what a gas engine can, even with the differences in additives. Base stock makes up something like 75% of the bottled oil and the rest is additives.

I don't get too involved into the argument about which is the best oil anymore. Just use Mobil 1 synthetic or any synthetic that meets the Dexos requirements!
