I bring up the above questions when the latest and greatest product is brought up. None of this 'I put it in my car and it seems better' crap. If it isn't measurably better, you have no idea what is going on. Christ, I wash my car and it runs better.
Also, it takes more than a single oil change to flush out the old product as well.
If there is hard evidence of VI improvements over several UOAs (not just one isolated sample), the product is available (Schaffer oils are through wholesalers only up here in Canuckistan, no retailers), it is reasonably priced (Motul isn't, used to run it in my bike... couldn't justify the price based on frequency of changeouts) and backed enough by the mfg. that they will at least API certify it (hello, Amsoil?), I'm all ears.
Rotella T6 looks promising, RP Synerlec isn't readily available here, but also looks good.
Unfortunately, we seem to get endless ancedotal accounts that mean nothing.
