[QUOTE="Game-R, post: 641947, member: 27709"] Looking at the tests they have done so far, the brand that is most consistently clean in all their range is Liquid Moly and Mobil 1 oils. I wonder how many actual Ferrari owners actually use any of that Shell Helix crap. The containers really look like containing cholesterol induced heart attack for your engine. According to my friend, a motoring journalist in Singapore who did a report on engine lubricant oils, the reason for the particles in the oil is the addition of detergent solutions which can't take the high heat. So it's a trade off if you want more durable oils in your engine but without the detergent cleaning effects. Added to that, the 400 degrees test tempreture is very rare to encounter in most normal engines. Probably the equivalent of running your engine non stop without coolant for an hour or two. [/QUOTE]
