[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 13267043, member: 112023"] Bulltrue! Cheap base oils do not have the same film strength compared to a true synthetic. LV fluid was spec'd for fuel economy, not hardcore horsepower performance. Riddle me this Batman. Why, oh WHY would someone rely on cheap LV Mercon (only 6.0 cSt @ 100*C) in a 700+ rwhp car? You invest 15K in forged internals, forced induction, and upgrades, but skimp on lubrication. If Ford's lubricant is good enough, then their stock 5.0 is good enough too. Stop modding your car! At least older automatics were spec'd for normal viscosity ATF, which offered a little more protection barrier. However, this conversation is about LV "low viscosity" ATF. *shaking me head* [/QUOTE]
