[QUOTE="senderofan, post: 14242234, member: 149422"] Yes....I had my engine partially taken down a few years back. Won't put folks asleep with the details....except to say that with 76,000 very hard miles on the engine.....the cylinder bores had nearly the same cross hatching and no wear ridge...like a recently prepped engine. The mechanic was extremely impressed and commented that modern synthetic oils changed at regular intervals...can make a huge difference in engine wear. I think this becomes even more important with our high tech engines that have really tight tolerances that also generate a lot of heat. Trying to pin down data from oil manufacturers is difficult at best. i believe a lot of manufacturers make claims...some with tests that they've performed instead of independent labs...and fail to release exact data and / or testing procedures. Not sure what the motives behind that are...except perhaps they don't want brand X & Y to do the same test and publish that they have superior results. I haven't had MC oil in my Boss since I purchased the vehicle new. I ran the 10w-40 oil in question for a track date in May....no issues that I could detect...but it was cold and raining. Will probably run Redline 5w-50 for track dates in the summer heat. Wayne [/QUOTE]
