HPL fleet usage plan.

[BrendanC]

Any updates to this plan?

ordered 24 quarts of EC on saturday and it’s at the office now. the CEO didn’t even want to wait for lab results due to how sure David’s email was that their PCEO could handle 12k miles with ease. i had a meeting with him explaining every cent and how it benefits us and he green lit it. i will get a drum ordered next week and a sample should be ready to be sent off next week aswell.

Forget 12k; go 18-20k and save even more downtime. Plenty of testing here shows HPL is more than capable.

He’s got a bunch of GDI engines in HD use - seems early for 20k …

Best thing about this Country is that we are afforded the freedom to do as we wish.
Bottom line: make the best decision based on what you can afford.

Thanks for watching the sentry!

Looking at the @High Performance Lubricants i did notice crazy high TBN. Most otc was between 5-8ish so as long as it gets topped off, i think 12-15k on anything is doable, more if topping off and clean running are in line.

i would, but air filters come out absolutely knarly at 12k. the trucks need to be greased and given a once over and 12k is a good target. keeps a decent margin of error in oil life aswell as hopefully keeping the trucks in check.

I wonder if the HPL could have any mpg advantage over a typical oil. In fleet service that could make a difference too.

There have been several claims that HPL deals with fuel dilution better than most - but have not seen the data …

2022 Mazda CX-9 - HPL PCMO 10W-20 - 7,211 Miles

Posting for @OhioTech. This is a followup UOA to this one in June. 2022 Mazda CX-9 - High Performance Lubricants PCMO 10W-20 - 4,987 Miles Here is the VOA for this oil. High Performance Lubricants PCMO 10W-20 VOA In previous OCIs, this engine has exhibited a high amount of fuel dilution. A...

Though HPL's 10W-20 started with a KV100 ~1.5 cSt lower than the OEM Mazda 5W-30, they ended with roughly the same KV100 at the same fuel dilution and interval. Notice how fuel dilution increased from 2.9% -> 4.3% with no change in KV100. Despite the fuel, the wear trends were low (especially for a new engine) and TBN was higher at 7,200 miles than the OEM Mazda oil had at just 211 miles.

I think if you read his cut and posts he adds 1 quart to each sump

this is their engine cleaner to prep before going to their oil. you run it at a 1:5 ratio to motor oil.

He is using this with the hpl engine cleaner. Then hpl oil after the cleaning run
