Remember that report from Blackstone - the oil analysis guys that crunched the numbers on many thousands of analysis's that I sent a link to awhile back???
Here's the bottom line again: "Well, we’re no closer to saying that one type of oil is better than another, that’s for sure. We see much more variation in wear levels from the type of engine, the time on the oil, the viscosity, the use the engine sees, etc. Whatever differences exist from oil brand to oil brand, we don’t see a lot of difference in terms of wear for most types of engines. Now, some people report better fuel economy or other benefits from using one type of oil instead of another, and if that’s you, that’s great. Our point here is not to tell you that you should or shouldn’t use a certain type of oil, so by all means, feel free to stick with what’s working for you. All we’re saying is, if you want to try an oil that maybe costs a little less, you probably don’t need to worry about it causing any problems." You can find it at https://www.blackstone-labs.com/Newsletters/Gas-Diesel/July-1-2017.php or I'll send a copy if you ask - probably too large a PDF for the list.
