Default Definitive oil information - really cool

Dear all, I have being lost jumping from post to post, threat to threat, trying to identify which oil to use in my 928. The big problem is that where I live, Brazil, not all brands are available, and worst, pretty much there's NO 20w50 synthetic, and the no local vendors declares the ZDDP levels (even the global players as mobil, valvoline, castrol...). So i went in a quest to find the best oil for my car and found this amazing website. Amazing the amount of information, and the tests he performed, inclusing an overall protection ranking with 100's of oils. This guys is doing a major service all of us gearheads! The link is:

I propose that we tie this guy (the oil "expert", not gsmarrara) and Kilbort to chairs facing each other across a table and sell tickets - sort of an oil enduro...

That looks like a thinly disguised advertisement to me, way too much anonymity among other things.

That's like putting butter on a cats back and having a perpetual motion machine.
