Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enhanced Vehicle" data-source="post: 1064155312" data-attributes="member: 140248">There are many opinions of what makes a good engine oil, and how a good oil should perform.... There are just too many diversities of thoughts ......I would like to share how I choose my engine oil:1) We know that engine oil is made of base oil and additive.... If we would have idea on the quality of this 2 raw material, it should be very helpful in choosing engine oil...- I prefer engine oil makers that have their own crude oil extraction and base oil processing facilities. It might not guarantee good quality but we would at least know the quality of the raw material should be more consistent... Many many lubricant companies has to buy base oil from someone else. - It might be difficult to find out where do they source the additive packages, but I would try ways to find out from whom they source from.... I personally prefer they buy from Americans and Europeans than from countries like China...2) First of all, I don't believe what the engine oil makers claim on their quality and standards, tell me who will claim that their oil is not up to spec?? I don't quite like the statement, such as "meet", "exceed", "surpass" certain standards without a third party standard body certification.... I will check on http://eolcs.api.org/ whether the specific brand/model of engine oil, made in specific country is officially a licensee of American Petroleum Institute (API).... Besides API, I would like to check if the engine oil is:- ILSAC GF-5 certified (for gasoline engine oil)- JASO MA, MA2 (for 4T)- OEM certified such as Dexos (GM), WSS (Ford), LongLife (BMW) and etc- ACEA: Actually their standard is very high, just too bad that they just provide guideline on their standard, they do not check and test whether the candidate oil is up to the specifications.... you can expect that many many many engine oil makers likes to tell people that they meet ACEA standard.....<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Enhanced-Lubricant/480458618632696?flyingspaghettimonster=ts" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Enhanced-Lub...18632696?flyingspaghettimonster=ts</a></blockquote>
