I agree with [MENTION=9]HolyCrapItsFast[/MENTION] mostly, except I wouldn't put either Royal Purple or Mobil 1 in my car. Personal preference though, I guess.

Royal Purple, I wouldn't even put it in my sewing machine. I don't even think it is API certified. Mobile one, I don't have an issue with. :tup:

In cold weather the thicker oil will flow less volume and flow at a slower rate on start up. I don't have to tell what the implications of that are. As it warms up they both revert to 30 weight so no issues there.
Less oil on cold start can't be good.

6 years as a dealer tech before I went into the speed shop world.
Word of advice, never EVER work in a dealership that sells the car you drive and own as a job, because you then learn to hate the car and the brand. It just becomes another job, which is why I HATE toyota's now.

Ok, I'm bringing this thread back up because:
1) Nobody seems to want to do UOA
2) I'm going to be changing my oil soon
3) I'm going to be doing an UOA through Blackstone Labs on my Dominator 10w-30 (I have the packet from the in my garage ready to ship out once I change my oil)
4) I'm going to be doing a few more UOA on Rotella T6 and normal amsoil 5w-30 this year
I've never tried Rotella T6, so the comparison will show if branding is the selling point on some oils. (to a certain limit, of course)
This is clearly going to take quite a few months to do. We are talking about 9,000 miles (more like 6,800 miles because I've already gotten 2,2XX miles on the current Dominator), split into thirds between three different oils. :tup:

Ugh never mind, I'm gonna go eat until my blood sugar is sky high and I'm fat. Today is a day to relax, no more car stuff, not today! Try it dude, it's fun sometimes to not obsess over it, but then again you don't do it for a living, so you don't see things from my point of view.
