AND, they are using lighter grade oils just like we are; even some 0W-20's.


M1 sponsors hard, it doesn't really matter Castrol or m1 as both are quality, so they use what they probably do all their testing with m1.

Similarly in racing lots of testing is with M1 and teams with different oil sponsorships are still using M1.

AFAIK Mobil 1 is the official Porsche oil for many years? Don't Porsches come from the factory with Mobil 1?

Yup. There is a long standing relationship between Porsche and M1, so no surprise there.

Are there any that are false ?

Group 5 oil has to be almost twice and good as Group 3 oil. Right?

67% more better I'd say. But only with a UOA of course.

Esters are some of my favorite compounds, especially in bananas and strawberries.

I love a bit of ethyl acetate myself. But not in wine.
