Enjoy. Would appear to be better stuff then it gets credit for.

Cannot figure out how to embed on this version of s2ki..

'Cause it'll blow up?

Been running it on both our hondas without issue. 10-15K intervals.

Just because I've had personal issues with it. Not saying the product is bad, it's just past experiences make me weary to put it in when I can spend my money better (or personally more secure) elsewhere. From my prelude, to my base sentra, to my S (which didn't even last 2k miles on it, but did 6 without using a qt on Pennzoil). Maybe it's my luck, maybe it's the product, maybe it's somewhere inbetween. I don't know. I just don't have confidence in it anymore

The only oil that's blown an engine (and yes, it was because of the oil) was Royal Purple. Never, EVER again.

Mobile 1 is fine for daily, I'm just not sure how it performs in track use *shrugs*. I think thats where all the recommendations stem from.

You know I was giving you a hard time right?

Dan it does run thin so lots of track time couldn't be good.

Testing embed feature for this video...pretty cool video. Don't know if I'd trust my car running on that test.

They did a similar video on their EP formula with a Las Vegas Taxi fleet and 15K oil changes. Similar results.
