I was also under the impression that meeting d1g2 insured that the product was tested for LSPI prevention in today's smaller turbo engines......

Lets put this in a different weigh & measure category.
There are 200 kids graduating from high school and each passes - gets their certification / diploma. Some are maximum-smart and some minimum-smart.
Are you going to buy / hire the minimum-smart guy on resume/interview (C-average) to manage your store, or the maximum-smart (A-average)? Both have identical certs for past education.

If you are using the Supertech report card, then you must have graduated with C's, not A's. You are obviously not interested in buying the better product, as advertised on the label for cleaning power. You prefer to buy the window cleaner that does not advertise or profess a clean window after application.

To each his own. Buy the less expensive, less advertised-to-work C Grade. Hope you enjoy it.
Done here. Actually done forever on this subject. I don't care if you like the subpar oils. But if you say (in the future here) that Supertech mirros Pennzoil in cleaning power, then you cheated in high school to get that C-Grade. You deserved an F-Grade.

Now my car needs one... I'm running a 2016 2.0 EcoBoost AWD Fusion... 75,000kms on it. Lots of short trips with some longer ones every week or so... I drive harder then the wife drives her rogue as well lol
Only put 15,000 kms on it last 15 months as well, I'm 3 minutes from work so there is the short trips. Last 3 to 4 Oil changes I was running PUP 5w30 but hearing it's not the best for lspi I want to try something better.

What would you guys recommend?

lol.gif
Stick with the PUP, just wasting money paying for more expensive oil.

Once again you have proven your knowledge and understanding is below the C average student. There is no extra credit it's a simple pass or fail. Your posts have demonstrated you have fallen for marketing and the advertising is nothing more then being the first the motor oil preformed like all others which passed certification. Man it must be nice to be so naive.

That's basically my problem I put little miles on in 6 months... It might take from today till this day next year to put on 8000 kms... Not sure what I should do for OCI... 6 months I might put 4000kms maybe 5. Many short trips but seems low for such good oil

Although not necessary...... Buy a strong oil like Ultra Platinum or Castrol/Mobil-1 EP and change once a year.

I've been boonswaggled! My bottle of oil doesn't say anything about transferring heat away from critical engine components. As a result my engine overheated and seized! Next time I'll buy a bottle of oil that says it lubricates and transfers heat. :-(
