[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 13848039, member: 112023"] Fuel dilution wasn't a factor in either UOA tested in the SVT Performance GT. Both runs were using Royal Purple HPS 5W-30, and both sheared from a 30 grade to a 20 grade. You've seen both UOA's, yet still deny it. It can't maintain viscosity, what good is it? Besides, if I chose Signature Series or Dominator, the dyno has a percent of error that would easily mask HP results that close in comparison. You're not wise for even suggesting a test like that comparing high end base oils. "Synerlec" is not the end all - be all in additive technology. Your base formulation Royal Purple selling for $9.xx at retailers, and compares to Amsoil OE (base) 100% hydrocracked formulation. However, OE sells for $4.70 a quart to preferred customers and dealers. I have no doubts, after comparing multiple UOAs, that OE would match (or beat) RP's base formulation. You still like to use the term "Chemistry Limited" when discussing RP's base formulation. Amsoil's Signature Series is their flagship passenger car lubricant, and can pass the API SN certification with ease. In fact, it exceeds all requirements. *wait for it....here it comes* Jimmy will say, "Then why isn't it API SN certified" - despite me telling him why many times before. Let me dig that quote up for everyone to know why. The last question in the quote above was never answered, however, I never expected one. Proprietary information is forbidden (classified), and likely....even Jimmy himself has no idea. Not making this statement in disrespect, as I do respect Jimmy, but I'd expect him to have a script to read when people call technical support. Exactly the same way Mobil 1 set it up after they made the switch to group III base oils. Actually, it's the other way around. The new owners marketing ploy in Hollywood tells me what RP has become. Another Mobil 1 and Castrol sell out. Making the product cheaper, selling it for a higher premium, marketing it like it's the formulation of yesteryear. Which it is not! Selling cheap base oil for $9.xx a quart. You should be ashamed of that Jimmy, not praising it. HPS selling for $14.99 ??? XPR selling for $19.99 ??? I have a dual lab confirmed sample of XPR from a healthy GT500 engine. Used XPR one time, iron ppm increased to 114 in only 1,750 miles of use. The UOA before, and the UOA after had normal levels of iron. This sample was confirmed to be accurate by Dyson himself, as were both sample prior and after.
