Exclamation Motor Oil Bible!!!! Oil Test Data

http://www.trustmymechanic.com/motor-oil-bible.pdf

Go to this website and read this, you need a .pdf reader (Adobe Acrobat)
This is the most comprehensive scientific data i have ever seen on motor oil testing and all the process used to refine motor oil and synthetic oils. The results are surprising as which motor oils come out on top!!!!

Intersting. So the Mobil 1 5w30 that is in our cars stock and is recomended by chevy isn't even near the best synthetic oils out there?

I couldn't view the chart at all.. I think it is time for a new acrobat install.

Yep that fixed it.

And Mobil one is at a good spot considering where Royal Purple is.

Amsoil does make an oil filter and have a recommended oil for the CSS/SC. However, they only have their foam filters for the 2.2.

meh, don't trust it, the fact of the matter is that a lot of motor oil labels put out these tests themselves and skew the results to show their motor oil as the best. Nothing is better than good 'ole word of mouth. Mobile I synthetic is used by so many car guys and I've NEVER heard a complaint about it.
