[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 13060915, member: 112023"] I'd place Ultra beyond the others listed. It returns better UOAs. The new API SN formulation with ultra low NOACK is game changing. Amazing what the new GTL (Gas To Liquid) base stocks can do. If I were buying over the counter, Ultra is my #1 choice. However, it's hard to find in my neck of the woods at a good price. Wal Mart sold the remaining stock at closeout prices. I bought 14 quarts for testing purposes at 4.00 to 5.00 a quart. Pep Boys sells it for $9.79 a quart. OUCH! Amsoil rumored that if GTL technology was promising as advertized, they would make the change. I've noticed Amsoil's Signature Series lubricants NOACK % ratings have decreased slightly. I wonder if it's related. Not to take away from that UOA, however...there is information there (and information lacking) that can tell a slightly different story. 1. The car has 40,000 miles. Any decent lubricant would show wear that low, as the engine is already broken in well. 2. The engine consumes oil, about 1 quart per 5,000 miles. This will help with duration as new oil is used to top off 3. No TBN results on the sample. This is why Blackstone FAILS. You have to pay extra for TBN testing. [/QUOTE]
