Just my opinon though.

Cool article,

however this kind of test would be better for gearboxes where shear strength is the most important thing

in an engine its all about heat management. being able to soak up a lot of gasoline without losing lubrication properties and not thinning out excessively or losing lubrication ability at extreme temperature is key

im no oil engineer but I know motul works and has been working forever. I also know it can handle tons of fuel content before it breaks down.

Truth. Although that test is really neat and everything it doesn’t represent much of what’s taking place in a working engine with added heat and contaminents playing a factor.

Royal Purple is great oil but for daily use a good synthetic should suit you fine. Frequent oil change intervels are more important than the brand of oil being used I’d say.
