Bottom line - waste of money.

If you don't own a turbo, even more so waste of money.
Turbo owners can argue that the better film strength is worth it due to the higher heat turbo engines produce; I have never seen a 13BT kill itself due to insufficient lubrication from QUALITY, NAME-BRAND mineral oils.

We've covered this many, many times. All you need to do is search.

This thread will be closed as the last one was. Please DO NOT start the same thread again after a mod closes it.
