I've never heard some of them but I've used the Valvoline. Actually masmahal siya dito for the diesel rated oil. I wonder if the diesel oils also fare similarly or have different results?

Royal Purple is a popular brand here.

A lot of them are European oils like Gulf, Elf, etc.

Curious why Amsoil was not tested? Popular rin yon dito. Or how about yung mga likes ng Quaker State or the cheaper ones?

Wow I'm suprised with the results for Motul, Mobil 1, Shell Helix Ultra, Redline and Castrol. Wonder if the test really reflects everyday conditions? Expert opinons pls.

Of all the locally available brands, it's the Valvoline that has the better grinding protection.

I wish that Royal Purple would be commercially available here sa atin. I'm currently using Mobile 1.
