Re: Used Oil Analysis of CAMRY'S Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 after 4,920 miles

Not extreme cold is needed to benefit, even at 20-30f oils dont flow as well as they do when warm, also there is a group of earlier toyotas known to sludge and ruin motors from the motors higher operating temp, synthetic would have been a big benefit to them. I use it, I notice a diference, oil is cheap compared to a new motor.

Interesting! Audi is a small division of VW, but June happens to be the best sales month in 2009 for Audi.

Said Johan de Nysschen, President, Audi of America. “The trend is clear: Audi is outperforming the rest of the imported luxury car market on a percentage basis. And this is happening without extraordinary discounting and other gimmicks. It is a testament to the long-term momentum Audi has developed and the caliber of our products in the freshest fleet out there.”

So we'll see.

What is google broken, google data, how about the fact that a major percentage of engine wear is on startup, or is everything a myth to you, you must be a dino oil salesman.

I am not a dino oil salesman. I am a research chemist, now retired.

If you quote a "fact" like "p;ercentage of engine wear is on startup", then you need data to back it up. .Numbers, not just repearting what you have heard or read. What IS the percentage of engine wear on startup? With synthetic and with dino. How were the data obtained (conditions, methods, population).

Question every perceived truth.. Evaluate the credibility of every perceived myth.
