It used to be a great place to learn about engine lubricants from decent guys who were experts and who were respectful.
I certainly hope you are not the future type of member here on BITOG...only looking to troll and to start conflict.
What a strange motivation you have.
Where did I decide to troll and 'start conflict'? I made a post. This place is ultra sensitive, so I made the assumption that somebodys feathers would get ruffled by running un-rated oil. Never in my life did I expect somebody to be so butthurt about it that I'd be called a 'troll' and BANNED for a post asking for honest opinions.

Both of these oils have HTHS of at least 3.5, so either should work well.
Neither oil is blessed with low NOACK if that matters.
I suspect that the OP is pretty well informed. IIRC, he built himself that 2.8 liter ti, so he does have some skills and knowledge.
Thanks. I had the same suspicion as well honestly. But as I said in a previous post, I'll do a UOA eventually (again - not on the initial fill, because god knows what was in it and how it was treated before it got into my hands), so that data would be mostly useless anyways.
And yes, my Ti has been relegated to mostly autox/drift beater these days.

The deal, to be more specific (I may not have been clear enough the first time I typed this) was the Autozone 2.5gal jug for $15/each. I bought 12 of them.
Wait, you got banned here from posts on this thread? If that is the case then I am not sure how much longer I want to stay around this forum. The mods here 12 years old or something?
Yup. 1 week ban for reason of 'trolling'. And a quote from the thread where I said 'So do I. Just curious what kind of hissy fit people will throw'. Unbelievable.
