[QUOTE="B33mEr, post: 560975, member: 13609"] From my understanding i think that's quite good the minimum HTHS for a 40 weight oil is 3.5 cP. And looking at their castrol latest product offering Castrol Edge with Syntec 5W-40 it has a value of 2.9 cP ([url]http://www.castrol.com/liveassets/bp_internet/castrol/castrol_usa/STAGING/local_assets/downloads/p,q/Edge_BLACK_PDS_Sept_2011.pdf[/url]) and higher is better in this case ... Of course additives and detergent plays a very important role too I have read countless articles and post on BITOG and i still don't understand some of the technical meaning lol However one thing that i'm certain is that, it's the Oil Change Interval that is most important. Having said that i still prefer Pennzoil compared to Castrol Edge 5W-40 ... but i would love to try SLX and Edge Sport 0W-40 :D Comparative table for most oil in the market:- [url]http://g9677606.blogspot.com/2011/04...552011113.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
