Motul is not that good in the VQ.

Motul is bad oil for the VQ. This was from my350z.

Many other results like this I found on the VQ. They say stay away from it. This was 300v and the other 8100 didn't do any better.



Good Oils: Amsoil, Redline, Penzoil Plat, Castrol Edge.

Castrol edge virgin results from lab..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A guy on another forum got some results back from a virgin sample of castrol edge sent to blackstone...he compares it to amsoil to show the results. Just thought i'd share for those that are curious..

"OK so for $8 bucks a quart let's see what we are getting here......I'll compare it to a $8 Amsoil (retail no PC discount)....

Castrol Edge..............Amsoil.....What it is used for
Silicon 3.1.................2.3.........anti foaming agent
Potassium 0...............0............background residual
Boron 66...................19..detergents, dispersant, extreme pressure add
Barium 0...................0.3..........same as above
Magnesium 12...........12............same as above
Moly 129..................220..........friction modifier
Calcium 3509.............3468..detergents, dispersant, extreme pressure add
Phosphorus 823.........810..detergents, dispersant, extreme pressure add
Zinc 941..................848...detergents, dispersant, extreme pressure add
Vis@40C 61.8...........62.0
Vis@100C 10.4.........10.7

This is one stout add pack and has the Lubrizol signature all over it. Looks like a GRPIII for sure...far better numbers than Mobil1 for sure...so bottom line is this is one serious oil guys.......now of course we have to see it perform.....UOA's forthcoming......by the way this is the Edge 10-30 that was run through the lab....."
