I wasn't going to jump into this thread, but all of the reading I have done of used oil analysis data suggests the opposite, RP did not do as well as M1. There are a number of guys on bobistheoilguy.com who were very disappointed in the used oil analysis results with RP.

First of all your opinion of me exaggerating anything about this car that I invested 5 years of my 45 year automotive career is insulting.. you do cement work!!!! You remind me of that on board computer HAL in the Movie 2001 a space odyssey . As the ship was being destroyed, the computer HAL would keep saying every thing is A OK. I wasn't going to post in the thread again but your insult to my credibility caused me to address your post again.. I suggest you do whatever you want but your opinion means nothing.. at least not about automotive technology... When you are mixing your cement, I don't tell you to use the cheapest cement because the cement is only being used for a sidewalk, but then what about that trash truck that could back up on the sidewalk at the driveway to turn around.. OK this is getting silly... The C5 can operate in a 120F ambient environment, just sitting at a stop light in Arizona where black top temps can reach 160F... the C5 is a bottom feeder and when sucking 160F temps off that blacktop there is little heat exchange.. coolant can easily reach 240/260F and oil can easily see 300F.. and this is just going to the grocery store.... I don't know why I am trying to save you and your C5,, after all in your mind conventional oil is A OK. Let me get this straight, you said you beat your car so you use synthetic, but you are telling others that they can use conventional..you have no basis in fact , you have no automotive education yet you are offering advice as if it was gospel, to people based on your opinion. An opinion with no education.
The End
