The old 10w30 vs 20w50

I have never denied that Torco was a superior oil. That said, I have to use the best I can find within my budget constraints and Torco ain't it. Millions of people have had great service from oils seemingly "way inferior" to Torco for a very long time. I think the single basic key is, keep the oil and filter changed regularly and use the best oil that you can afford. If all of the "other oil" on the market besides Torco was junk, you'd see a very long line of pissed off customers filing lawsuits. Since that ain't happenin, people are getting good service out of those so called "inferior motor oils". Just my 2 cents. Just pick your damn oil, run it and keep it changed.

That's part of it. You can't just buy Torco and go. You have to order. Not everyone heeds the most expensive oil Torco produces. They make oils that are comparable in price to any other mineral based oil out there.

The fact is, there isn't one right oil. That's why some companies (like Torco) produce APLLICATION SPECIFIC oils.

I run it because of the THOUSANDS of dollars worth of testing either I directly participated in, or was paid to observe.

I can also tell you form running engines with 380-400 pounds of spring pressure ON THE SEAT and well over 1000 pounds OVER THE NOSE, you can see inferior oils costing valve spring life, pushrod wear and ring seal. You can change oil all you want, and it won't fix those issues.

Like I had said before, it's not designed, developed, produced and marketed for.
