This place really great inno!
You retarded or slow? I said using Mobil 1 than Castrol GTX....meant I switched from one to the other so I did notice a difference .... and to make it even clearer...on the same engine

Ofcourse, some of us love to talk about evidence in here so for the benefit of those of us who don't know, please someone show me an engine using Amsoil synthetic motor oil that lasted longer than an engine using Castrol GTX being serviced as scheduled once every 4,800kms.
btw nes......$63./qt you say? Where you got that price from? I saw this from GEAR HEAD , he has them from $76.-$90./ qt.
what was distasteful about additonal information sharing?
by al means if your pocket is swollen enough to afford oil changes every 3 mths go right ahead..the 20k km interval is based on if you are running strickly highway and no traffic like I do....I doing 12k km in 1 yr no traffic...so for me it is a savings.....
additionally take your time an read the link I posted prior to your ranting before your ask rhetorical and redundant questions....we on tuner to share information and learn from each other...so please do not be offended in any way...as knowledeable as you may seem at times, you are not always right about everything....these guys make it their business to study oil compositions..this is what pays their bills..who are we to doubt when the proof is their....my example between the CS3 and NZE were just 2 measily self tests...how many of you in here can say you have tested both oils in 2 or more different cars?????....haven't seen anyone in this thread indicate they did..instead we have haters
I have nothing to gain from promoting oil sales...but you all have something to gain from experience...so try the two in your cars then see if your notice a difference
Don't take him on....x feel he is the fcuking encyclopedia when it comes to cars and everything automotive....who gives a sh1t on changing oil every 3 months or 4000kms....as if that is some great rule to live by....do you think you would do that with a BMW? No...you change the oil when the oil change light comes on and even on conventional oil you can reach between 6-8000kms.....using Mobil 1 you can go up to 15000kms (my moms 3 series regularly does 15000kms on Mobil 1 Extended) before the light comes on and the service manual recommends that you change oil when so indicated.
So with a good air filter, oil filter and quality synthetic a modern day Japanese engine can easily go 10000km between oil changes and not jeopardize reliability nor longevity

You can be very disappointing at times eh HOOK
If you had read what was iterated PROPERLY, you wouldn't have made that remark.. I used both types...but I kind of hoping this wasn't directed at me

No need to go emo, numbnuts, I wasn't speaking to you.
While your halfwit arse was watering whatever fell in your garden, the person I was referring to already responded.
But it's nice to know you see something wrong with that you're doing tho.
Have a good day sir.

How does one actually "quantify" whether a certain oil is "better" for their engine versus another oil?
Butt dyno calibrations?
"Ah hear" comments?
"Ah fine dee oil did still look clear when ah did drain it? it real wukking!"
Smell Test?
Or did anyone do a proper Oil analysis (which can be done locally) on their spent oils (of different brands) to determine which produced less wear metal content?
((Crickets chirp))
((Realises there's a better chance of Santa delivering an M3 rather than have a logical answer to this post))
Hook wrote:Few if any 2nrs are going to do an analysis on their used oil to check anything. In my short time here and my involvement in tech discussions, I can safely say that the vast majority of 2nrs actually drive bone stock vehicles and are not particularly tech savy, so to assume anyone here's actually into research and modification and tuning is a huge undertaking.
Most 2nrs simply want an oil that has all the marketing hype that a good oil should have at a good price. I say "most" because I've seen posts from some that use super expensive race grade oil in their foreign used grocery-getters and swear they're better than the turbo charged weekend warrior that running GTX). It boils down to hype and brand loyalty here basically, and since there are oil comparison charts littered all over the interwebz, it's fairly easy to make an educated decision on which brand and weight you use, but in the end it's all taken on faith, since you'll never actually know what it's doing in your engine.
So, what colour M3 u gonna get? Pass fuh mih nuh?

top ups adding up to 1/2quart -3/4 quart would be needed during the 5000k's
