hey guys i thought you would be interested in this, since oil threads (synth vs dino, etc etc etc) are oh so popular...
rather than bench race with marketing hype and friend's friend's friend's opinion i thought i would bring some tech and get my oil analyzed by blackstone labs to see if it was in fact as a good a product as i thought it was.
this is off the shelf shell rotella T 15W40 'diesel oil' .. take a look at the zinc and phosphorus levels in the same.. they are much higher than the universal average (for all of blackstone's customers who send in oil samples) (those two are the anti-wear additives)
i always thought that heavy duty diesel oil was an awesome bang for the buck in terms of engine protection, and i'm glad the analysis results support that hypothesis
this is on a stock '02 wrx that is 'driven hard but not abused' ha... if the focus motor can use oil this thick (check your owners manual.. but i think it should...) you guys should consider this oil!
