Anyone posting that is clearly delusional. They people at that site are simply more passionate than those found in most other forums. A few are knowledgeable, but its very difficult to know who they are. I've been a member there for well over a decade, thru a couple changes of ownership.

Its easy to throw stones at this Rats testing, and I honestly did not expect it here. But until I am shown something better than what he has done, responses ridiculing the guy are non-sense.

So...lets see your web site link(s) that bests Rats test blog.

I'll wait...

His tests are nonsense and I'm not going to waste my time repeating it any more. Good luck. Trolls continue to post his junk on site after site.

His tests and commentary are good reads but you wont find me defending the guy.

For example, he weighs in on extended drain intervals and discredits anything over 5k, while his own UOA tests prove he can go much longer than 5k. That is very illogical for a data oriented engineer.

Still...there is a lot more test data than I've ever seen. So in all seriousness, if you know of a site with more data oriented information than this one, by all means please share it.

The test is nonsense and doesn't represent any way any part in the internal combustion engine. This test device is commonly called a one armed bandit and is commonly used by slick salesman to dupe people. Even Pert plus shampoo does great in this ridiculous test.

Here is a thread for your enjoyment.

I'm not sure you are serious. The rat blog oil "tests" are ridiculed on Bobistheoilguy.com (which is a real oil enthusiast website). Rat's test are in absolutely no way representative of any internal combustion engine condition and are in no way relevant at all to motor oil. What is weird is that trolls show up on a regular basis under new user names and post that thread on the site trying to push it as relevant.

It kind of supports my totally informal results from a couple different oils I tried. Both Castrol Diesel oil and Rotella Triple T are rated further down the scale than Delvac 1300. I send in a sample from my oil changes on my Cummins and the reports when I was using those oils were less than stellar. When I switched back to Delvac, I've had nothing but glowing reports.
