Re: Marine Lubrication
 

Anyone here a "regular" Redline and not "racing" Redline oil user???

I need more info on that juice. :D

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

OK, without digging through conflicting info in 100 pages of threads how bad is the new Goldcap 15-50? I have managed to scrape up some older redcap. Should I mix say 4 quarts of Redcap with 3 of Goldcap when changing oil? I had been using all Goldcap and 1 bottle of th ZDDP additive. Supercharged 502.

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

The recent most test of Mobil-1 Goldcap 15W-50 shows it's now the same or probably better than Redcap. ZDDP levels are quite high.

I am using it straight out of the bottle. No reason to add anything to it.

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

Is there a date code or other way of telling which is the "old" "bad" stuff and what is now the "OK" Mobil 1? Maybe its safer to just go back to my Pennzoil Ive used for years.

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

The wonderful marketers of ExxonMobil have done a hell of a job confusing the market place. The new Gold Cap is fine. The bad stuff or the one that did not me the GF-4 recommendation is out of the system. Even then, it was not bad to use. It just did not meet a fuel economy spec. It would not damage an engine or destroy it completely. Actually, it would not do anything to you engine at all in a negative manner. Go figure. ExxonMobil is the greatest.

There are yard marks and batch numbers.. You would have to have an ExxonMobil distributor read them and call ExxonMobil to check it out. If you are every in Fort Wayne, please let me know. We will do what we can to take care of you.. Sorry once again about all the red cap dissapearing while I was gone!

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

OK, WTF, first it's better than slice bread, then it is crap and now it is good or better. Why was your second opinion in this saying its bad? What am I to believe now? What amount of the research is valid or invalid. I just spent the morning hunting down another 24 quarts from various parts stores and now I should buy the gold instead? Not being and ass but some of us rely on your opinions.

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

Cool your jets. Poeple on this web site termed it "bad stuff" that's where I was making my reference. I never said it was bad. People were acting like it was going to blow up your engine b/c it didn't meet GF-4. There is nothing wrong with the product. Wither it meets that product spec or not, it's still the best out there in my opinion and the test I have seen. Any one of the Mobil 1 grades is great ****. People who have too much time on their hands and read into **** don't know what they are talking about. I am not saying anyone on this site, so don't go there. Mobil 1 when it originally came out warrantied, yes warrantied the oil for 25Kmiles. We used to run the oil to 30K on our cars with one change. We even took a motor down after 150k. Looked brand spanking new. People took it and mislead that it was band or not as good as the red cap. It's fine, it works it is better than 99.9 percent of what's out there.

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

It wouldn't do anything at all. Just nit-picky people. :mad:

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

This is what happens when one person on one site states his "opinion" backed by who knows what and this "opinion" is then restated elsewhere on other sites as gospel. I think there should be a big disclaimer on the top banner of all sites that says, THIS IS ALL SOMEONES OPINION, TAKE IT AS SUCH. Im putting the Mobil 1 back in the engines, I need the reduction in oil temp until I can change my pan and coolers this winter.
