Re: Engine Oil
Lol, the only Properties he posted were Viscosity. TECHNICALLY the viscosity of olive oil would qualify for a motor oil, but nothing else in it would. Basically the point I was going for.

lol.. Really mr. Oil tech? 
I'm just going by viscosity, nothing else. That was the conversation.

Re: Engine Oil
No need to get cynical here Jake. You posted the numbers, and from what I see, the bigger the numbers the higher the viscosity, your olive oil is like a SAE 11 weight oil. That isn't an usable oil weight for a car. So you really didn't win this one TECHNICALLY as a 10 weight oil wouldn't be used in an engine. It would more than likely be a hydraulic fluid.
I say we throw some herbs in the engine with it and use it as a french bread dip later. mmmmmm

Zinc rocks, and is one of the things that M1 is not on par with. |

Which is why I use Amsoil Dominator. 
I always used Rotella in my DSM, and would never use anything else for a car that requires dino oil.

Re: Engine Oil
This thread has a little drama in it but still good info. Anyone posting brand, please make sure to include the weights you're using.
Goodhart, put a bigger turbo on your evo and put some good miles on that oil--please share some blackstone results@5k+ miles!

Tons of people, it's great oil as well. 5w30 and 10w30 are only for the winter months I say, to help with protection on the cold starts. You want thicker oil if you race your engine a lot. |

Re: Engine Oil
I've used various flavors of Mobil 1 in everything i've ever owned, cars and motorcycles.
Except for the scooter, that gets Maxima Castor 927! : pimp :
