Aside form all the technical details the new silver cap is better thatn the older gold cap. Better base and closer to the original red cap. Check the threads in Tech section. I have always used mobile one. When the red cap went away I started using gold. Noticed increased temps and usage. Found a couple of gallons of the old red cap and used it for a change. Temps back down. Several more changes on gold and temps/usage back up. Switched to silver and all is good again.
