Default Ranking of motor oil

I ran across a blog on motor oil that is extremely detailed and ranks 195 different motor oils as to wear properties. The blog is very, very long and extremely detailed. You need to scroll way down to find the oil rankings. If I read it correctly, he ranks Mobil 1 0W40 FS Euro Car Formula as the very best motor oil. To access the blog: www.540ratblog.wordpress.com

I will say the much loved MOTUL 8100 X-Cess 5-40 didn't fair as well as I'd hoped it would according to the Blog report.

I found that canola oil is not as good as peanut oil...but there are many different grades on canola oil so I can say that the Costco bulk canola oil works just as well as the name brand, so save a few bucks and watch Costco's Kirkland brand when it goes on sale.


Please.....
