Going by the blog report it's at the top. Very interesting read. Still not sure what to make of it though. The additive crap threw me...

Motul 8100 Xcess 5W40 is NOT on that test. Motul Clean (the enviro type) is.

My Indy chose it....that's all he uses on PCars. On my AMG he uses the Mobil 1 "M" formula version.

Top marks for Prolong Engine Treatment... hmmm

Not discrediting or endorsing, but, keep in mind, anybody can type anything on the internet.

There were some good points in that article though.
