the band wagon may have broken a wheel after that post. viva la motul!
Yay, let's all go back to pissing money away on an overpriced motor oil that hasn't actually been tested (ie. no oil analysis) by someone in the WSC. Marketing FTW!
You would have thought that ANY of this would have come up in the sample that Ambystom had analyzed. I'm still skeptical and will take hard data over the words of an engineer that works for the company.
This, how come to date, none of what you've suggested has become evident through oil analyzes?
I had 8000 km on the oil when I sent it in. During that period, I took part in a winter driving school which meant going onto Ghost Lake and dicking around for a day, hitting high RPMs. While I'm not an aggressive driver, during that 8000 km, I did get on the car at least a handful of times. So no, the oil was not babied in that sense. Was it absolutely snogged on? No.
I'm taking my Miata out of storage some time this month. I've been using Rotella in that too. It's my race car, it lives at high RPM. I'll take a sample and send it in. A few people over on miata.net have made the switch to Rotella and I've yet to hear any negative comments, same goes with NASIOC.
When I eventually get the replacement Subaru for my now sold WRX, I will run Rotella in it as well and send it in for analysis. Hopefully 3 separate WSC cars worth of data will be enough to stop this retarded "he said, she said" crap. uckfay, it's like debating evolution with a bunch of creationists, lol.
