Where are these alternative experts and any posts on oil development for the M96 ?
We need as many as possible, I agree.
Not every expert on oil or anything else for that matter is active or posts on this or other forums. Many of the top ones don't get involved in forums at all, they are too busty with their customers fixing their cars and/or building and maintaining race cars for them

Just because one is the most vocal does not make what they say the most accurate.
At the end of the day, it is an opinion and well all know what opinions are.

Try talking to those that actually work on our cars. There are many highly respected techs and engine builders in S. Ca. In San Diego alone I know of at least 3 .

Besides, there are tons of oil threads here and elsewhere that get in to the details.

Here is an interesting one:
