Well now I have a new brew in the '95 F150 (124,000 miles, inline six):

5.5 qts Durablend 10w40 and one 15 oz bottle Valvoline Synpower Oil Treatment (VSOT). I like it. It is a nice brew.

---

why?

Have you tried less of the syn with lower than average results?

---

Well, yes some folks here advocate one ounce of the Synpower Treatment per quart. I did it more to thicken the oil (as well as boost additives). I calculate with the full bottle I am running close to 16cSt at 100C. Truck is running great on it.

Interesting...

Usually the autos run better on less of a ratio unless the auto has a very large sump...

courier work
stop and go
traffic all day
stop and start
I have now about 6800 miles on this oil and monday evening it should be at or over 7000 miles

 

[Robbie Alexander]

here is the blot for that last oil stick
here is with no backlight

and here is with the blind back light

 

[Pablo]

I'm seeing spots.

I have some really weird mixes in both cars.

4 varieties of Amsoil, some Pennzoil, LC and VSOT.

I purposely cut hard on my stock so I didn't have to move a bunch of oil. I will run an AutoRx in the newer Volvo coming close to 100K (just to see) - then I'm going with with either ACD or AFL.

The old clunker may get ACD.
