Don’t take the bait, Grumpy posts up and replies with a Euro additized Redline that meets ACEA specs.  Totally NOT what I addressed. 
ugh. 

You tend to fire these things out with birdshot, so it’s hard to follow. I missed your previous post when you alluded to the regular RL HP (presumably). Which is around 400 PPM if memory serves.
 

Not sure if that’s relevant if he isn’t using that product line anyway, but I do I see where you were going. 👍

Look no further than the boat world which is mostly what I do for work and fun. I have a Honda BF150 outboard on my tin boat. It’s a 2.4L Accord engine turned on end. In the car it’ll take 0w20. Proba

Very cool. I am down to one Olds these days but she’s a keeper.

OK, who calls it a water heater and who refers it as a hot water heater.

Eight post from you since I last posted? Hard to tell what you are addressing. Shotgun approach and all. 

 

You sir are long on opinions. I don't share yours on RLHP 5W30. I don't share it on MTP30K 5W30. I don't share it on RLI 5W30. I don't share it on Torco SR5 5W30 and I don't share it on viscosity, HTHS, D6616 100C HTHS, SSI or the definition of LUBRICITY.  I don't share it on Recycled Oil. Get over it and get a grip man. I don't base my maintenance on YOUR OPINIONS. I base it on data, COMMUNICATION OF THE TRUTH and RESULTS. 

 

Blenders for the most part are 'multitasking' product development. Which means they are not doing anything well. Most of them not even passable. Profit first, performance second. Best performance comes from SINGULAR FOCUS. 

 

A few companies have a few products that have this singular focus approach and when that happens some spec are sacrificed for that focus. 

 

MPT30K 5W30 is such a product.  Something else the do very well is COMMUNICATE. Below an excerpt from a private communication between they and I. This in response to the PQIA testing  and my inquiry into that testing. The rest is none of your business. 

 

[Quote] “MPT Thirty-K Motors oils are formulated without the use of viscosity modifiers. Viscosity modifiers are used by other motor oil companies to provide high and low temperature performance.  MPT Thirty-K Motor oils are formulated to maximum high temperature performance while sacrificing low temperature performance. As a result, the cold flow properties (slow moving oil in a cold engine during extreme cold) of our motor oils in many cases will not meet the requirements of the listed specifications. Therefore, we do not recommend the use MPT Thirty-K motors for use in situations where cold starts (below 0 degrees)  are a concern.”

 

As I have mentioned, we blend with a variety of ester base stocks – as many as three for each grade. These esters have changed considerably over the years and have thus affected the CCS numbers. We have always been concerned with high temperature operation and have not spent much time evaluating low temperature. In reviewing the CCS number for Thirty-K 5W30, an accurate current number would be around 7,980 which would be more inline with the PQIA test. We will be updating the data on the website accordingly. [Close quote]

 

COMMUNICATION. I don't care is has shear stress at temperatures I never used that oil in. This kind of information allows me to tailor my program and products accurately. Michael, unlike you TELLS ME THE TRUTH. Tells me RELAVANT FACTS as did Grandquist at Red Line. THEY supplied me with data and answered all my questions. They just didn't tell me the direction. They gave me the values and recomendations. 

 

You have a good education you don't use very well and that is disappointing. 

 

THERE IS NO PERFECT OIL. You have this idea that one can "have it all'. Well ya can't and first on that list is wear verses economy and as I have show repeatedly and for years the PAO/POE combination allows for enough viscosity IN OPERATION to abate wear with MINIMUAL impact on economy. I post my fuel logs and every oil change made.

Tell me what defines 'over added'. What is the magic number? Tell me what test anyone has for correlating cat life with phosphorus/sulfur content?  What is the drop dead point for moly? 

 

I've used Red Line HP 0 and 5W20 In Honda fours for about 700K miles and yes moly is over 400. 417 to be exact on my last testing of that product 10/16/2018. None of those motors use oil. All had stellar compression and leak down test, new like oil pressures when I sold them, not a fouled plug in the bunch and all were spotless internally. All full SAPS oils. All there had ULEV stickers and passes emissions test ever time. Tell me, cause I want to know how the most evil over added, out of touch base oil blended oil on the planet is messing up my equipment.  :crackup:

 

Bigger question. If my results are this perfect what will RLI or any other oil bring to the party to improve on perfection?

What question would you like me to ask you? 

🤔

Thank you for the reasonable non verbose question my friend and sometime internet enemy! Lol. Answer my posit by posting your oil analysis results of Redline formula non API or ACEA formulation you’ve loved so long. Not Euro you just recently fell in love with. 
NO OBFUSCATION please dear Marty. 
Or may I post your results of the 4.3?

What is notable about the VI spec in this graph when compared to the one on a PCMO's data sheet?

 

image.jpeg.2b4136f8a39162e1d54164b7e5930b43.jpeg

 

Many things.

 

1.)  VI is a calculation of the slope of viscosity change between 40 C and 100 C so this graph, which would be congruent in that range is showing the clear advantage of POA in cold weather. 

 

2.) This graph is the results of the Scanning Brookfield on two 'neat' 5 cSt base oils. NO VM/VII improver yet added. 

PDS sheets and Labs showing VI are calculated on the Base + VM package. Are we clear? 

 

3.) IMPORTANT. Note the VI of these 5 cSt fluid. The "Mineral Oil in this graph is a GROUP III/III+ or GTL. Check the Group requirement specs yourself. Don't take my word for it. Look it up. 

 

4.) As #3 is true then claims that Group III's of any stripe, are 'just as good' at PAO is the takeaway some really smart people get from reading of a carefully crafted sentence that leads one to believe that based on a partial truth about other or even perhaps one specific quality. 

 

 

 

Afterthoughts: 

 

When Pennzoil introduced Pennzane; this 'super molecule' was one of the first PAO's and cost about $400 a quart according to a source on BITOG so; the can was less than 1% PAO. Marketing that caused a lot of damage and made allot of money. Marketing SUPPORTED BY TRIBOLOGIST TESTIMONY and twisted by sales all under the control of MAJOR BLENDERS. :idiot:

 

PAO's at the other end of this graph not shown are also superior and that can be enhanced further with selective additions of Esters. 

 

Could the about be true about some other base oils? Maybe but as that data is held back, I'd have to take the word of a group of people that have repeatedly shown over my lifetime they can not be trusted to tell the truth.

So you are not going to reply to my request? I asked you a very simple question. 

 

What question do YOU what ME to ASK YOU? 

 

My results are already posted on this forum BTW.

Simple ….. levels that react with the engine combustion stream pre and post stream.

Post your oil analysis we worked for you i pre and post  or shut up. I’m happy to pull all the data for you right here in the next few minutes.

By that definition all oils are over added. Now it is a matter of degree. A matter not yet defined.

We are talking Redline non api non acea licensed formulas with POE that used to be st least 30% or more  now a cut probably of 10% or less. The formulas to ran in Honda and others for years.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
