I came across this oil test with shocking results for some mayor brands ...
They used load ratings wich seem usefull for supercharged performance cars(?)

Gah!
'Tis the prices, not the test results, that I find shocking![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I promise to never complain again.
As for the discussion of motor oil itself, well, I'll make an effort to remain silent. But it's a lazy Sunday morning and I just made a pot of coffee....so I might not be as iron-willed as I'd like to be.![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

The old 'Which oil' chestnut rears it's predictable head once again.
T'ain't so much what yer put in but how often is the trick ;o))

I believe the "old adage" was true in the past, but I believe that modern technology has changed that a lot. APPARANTLY testing proves it. I say apparently because I am no materials engineer, so I have to depend on others to interpret data for me.
I do know that engines I go into that have been run with "full synthetic" oil changed at 10,000 miles or so are clean, like engines run on conventional oil changed at 3000 to 4000 miles. Just my visual observation.
