OK then why not ask your buddies how to change your oil or just come over and do it yourself?

Guy sent his oil for independent lab testing, compared RP to Mobile 1.
"as I believe"
Numbers and evidence is all I care about, be it tuners who mislead by posting non corrected numbers to make it seem like they are pumping out more HP, to what type of oil we throw in our cars. Debate is good, it prevents future failures for some.

Not that I need to explain myself to you, but I'm not going to bother a master mechanic with changing my oil. I have always done typical maintenance on my own. All I wanted to know was the proper procedure with our cars.
Next time I have a question I will be sure to pm you first and make sure it's ok with you!

"So because I have buddies who are knowledgeable with our cars"? Why ask the forum?
Oil change is not rocket science, oil comes out the bottom and is refilled from the top much like most cars. I take it you make friends fast.

What is it with this MB forum, bunch of children on here. Public forums are here to ask questions when you have them and provide answers to other's questions when you can.
I was on E90post for years, the kids on that forum are more mature than some on here!
If you don't have positive feedback regarding a thread then why post?

Sorry, But that is what I noticed. it's an automatic. Is it making more horsepower? Is it decreased rolling resistance? to be honest the reason I stuck with this oil is because the motor sounded quieter and smoother. Like I said. I would never use it in a warrantied car.

You're missing the point, if it was such a superior product then it would be a recommended oil, pretty simple, that garbage about big fees to be on a list ... Umm don't u think it would be a smart business decision to get on that list so that everyone owning these cars would buy this so called superior product...

At the end of the day I am not here trying to persuade any of you to RP, I am simply putting it in my car,. I don't understand why you are flaming me for wanting to run a certain product that doesn't effect you one way or the other.
