I'm not badgering but asking to learn something. Can you explain? What edge does it have over M1 0-20?
Well in everyday driving it will be lighter at all start up temps vs the M1, does that make a difference in longevity? Idk, but its a plus for sure. I like the fact that it has a lot more calcium than M1, again does that make a real world difference, no one could tell you. I also like the fact that it might have the Trimer Infinium Moly (that is the general consensus of some on here) most likely M1 also has this type of moly, even if they both do...TGMO has more. I take all of these as advantages, again, weather or not it will make a difference in the long run, no one could tell you. I am also impressed with the TBN retention of TGMO. I did 5 months of short trips (and I mean less than 1 mile trips, multiple times a day...during the winter) in my Accord, and the TBN went from 6.? to 4.1, that in my eyes is nothing short of excellent. I know 5 months is not THAT long, but thats 5 months of short trips. So thats why I think TGMO has the edge over M1. Use either, your car will probably rust out before the engine gives because you used 1 over the other, but hey this is BITOG we obsess about this stuff =P
