Hey David, I'm no oil salesman, but I have no problem speaking out for products I've tried personally and know are good. That said, if you want to run about the best oil on the market try getting some from Lubrication Engineers. Their motor oil is so good / slick that they tell you up front to not put it in a new engine or it will not seat the rings. We started running it in our service trucks this past summer. I've got a 8.7 liter Detroit in mine that last winter didn't even want to spin over fast enough to start below 40 degrees. This winter it has started with no problems til it got down in the 20's. True it's a diesel but I'm pushing around a 32,000 lb truck full time and getting nearly 8 MPG. Both of our trucks hav Allison Automatics and it has made them shift smoother than the Texaco fluid we were using. I also got a customer started on their products and he's having really good luck out of it too. I watched discharge temps on his air compressors,after he changed them over to LE oil and it dropped those by nearly 15 degrees over everything else he had tried in it. Like I said I'm no oil salesman, and I can't give all the technical mumbo jumbo, but being out there working on equipment everyday I know good stuff when I see it.
