Still didn't die until I sprayed multiple shots of straight nitrous @6000rpm with no oil or coolant. (got a sweet video of that if anyone is interested)

No science here, just personal experience.


I'd love to see that vid!

Haha. Me 3! Just go back and edit your post to include a link. I'm sure nobody wouldn't mind watching you murder it! Ha.

I've running royal purple synthetic & filter in both my Monty and VR4. So far so good but I still wouldn't dare go over 6k! Someone posted 15k above (can't recall who as I'm typing this) but that's insane! Even if they told me it was guaranteed, I still wouldn't. But that's just me

I refuse to read another 100 post oil debate. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />


Les, how about 70 posts?



Good chart on anti wear additive levels on Mobil 1. One thing that's important to realize is that its really hard to establish cause and effect. "I changed to this oil and then this happened." On a small sample size without a double blind you don't really know for sure.

Its like the guy whose engine spun a bearing during smog check. He was sure it was out fault, we wrecked his motor!

Turns out is was just about to lose the engine and he came in just at the right time. Not saying things cant happen, but I see conclusions on cause and effect made on some pretty slim data all the time, and in many cases there was no correlation.
