^^so miss guided
they have race engines that run np 20w-50 and any breakdowns with them have never led to an oil related issue

the only 20w-50 that np makes, a petroleum based oil, Ultra

np's 5w-50 is actually rebottled texaco oil

btw, np makes a wicked 10w-30, opps not supposed to talk about that :mrgreen:

I'm also a NP user.
20w50 Premium Ultra, no worries.
The Np is what I normally used, got some free Castrol, and well..........back to NP. Forever. LOL.

well, what can i say
it was a special request made by the garage i am affiliated with and they provided a bucket of 10w-30
the oil poured as clear as a full synthetic and pressure was much better than what most other petroleum based 10w-30 give
truely a great product but something about the market is too saturated with other brands and wouldn't make sense since alot of ppl used anything else than NP so basically don't look for it being fully marketed anytime soon
