...kinda like Airforce 1?

So Craig as I present data on conventioinal oils this week why don't you try to continue to "set me staright"?

Right now all I can see is the Exxon 20W-50 for $0.59/qt at Big Lots.

If you are talking Industrial conventional I can talk all day. We are a large industrial distributor. 90% Industrial and Commercial (HDMO), 10% PVL


.59/qt, get it while you can. ExxonMobil raises prices eft. August 1st.

I do want some feedback from the gurus here....

.....as you know Redline is a totally ester based product...bob's guys have only warm to cool feelings about this oil. In other words it looks great on paper...good results...but not a whole lot of use is seen.

I like the total ester base but it does have a lot of
silicon (finely ground up sand) and also a significant amount of aluminum in it.

The ZDDP levels are high (1200's) but could be higher.

Now the loyal Redline users like the oil...most are weekend warriors at the drag strip...same customer base as RP. They compete against each other to a good degree.

Are you comfortable with the level of relatively "harsh" additives??

Interested to get some feedback as their additiives are "harsher" than any diesel oil.

Diesel oils are tough stuff...never went there much before.

Yea..the biggest thing about the oil..as with most heavier conventionals is cold pumpability and hard engine wearing dry strarts. This would be "bear-grease" in cooler temps as would straight weight 40 or 50's.

...so that M-1 stuff protects like "bear-grease" but pumps at cold temps...really Craig?

It's a sinthetic ?

Exxon Superflow is a great choice! At any price, it's a solid performer.

Hydrocruiser

Especially for the blower guys who chnage every 10 hours due to gas contamination or those with 11 qt pans doing 20 hr drains...it is a solid choice.

A Big Lots in our area has had this product in gallon containers for around $3-5.. for a couple years now.

I hope they don't get rid of it in the next shuffle...

Hydrocruiser

Big Lots won't let them.

They do what they want. I will make sure and tell the President of ExxonMobil Lubricants and Specialties next week when I see him to make sure and keep it for the people of OSO! It may not work. We are merely a gnat on the ass of a 300billion dollar a year company.

Hey Craig somebody has to keep Skip down at Cigarette in business.
