Good point

I dont doubt the politics portion at all. I was just saying that I dont believe it has an effect on my points. The engineers recommended both Pennzoil and M1, but specifically stated that the higher moly in the Pennzoil is beneficial to cam phasing. Like I said before I have no proof this is...

This assumes that they are using the same moly (they should be). If they aren't, and one is tri-nuclear and the other isn't, then the difference in quantity becomes negated. Obviously SRT had no issues with the amount of moly in the Mobil product they were previously using, which also seems to...

I am "light" Clevy is the one being hostile. If anyone feels that the information I posted is incorrect then say so, but dont be an [censored] about it like he did. Yes, I understand that they once used Mobil 1, and that they once suggested mobil 1. I never disputed that and they even...
