I see he didn't test Royal purple racing 41. Which is a different makeup.

But there are so many damn oils out there, it would be impossible for somebody to do it themselves.

And Pennzoil sludging the engine got a bad name longer than I've been alive. They haven't had that problem for years, but the bad name will still follow them around though.

Takin from an article addressing Toyota's early 90's sludge issues/

"All major motor oils, in fact, are formulated using a paraffin-based crude oil. Naphthenic-based crude oils are actually more likely to form sludge"

Taken from Bobistheoilguy.com

"Pennzoil and Quaker State are now owned by Shell....and the oil inside is really Shell with modern high quality basestocks. "

Paraffin oil does not equal paraffin wax. Get your head out of 30 years ago. Most dyno oils are so good they test the same as semi-synthetics, with all the strict requirements, most of them are the same, the additives are the only difference. Even recycled oils aren't too bad anymore ( not that I would use it ).
