Sorry, error in the title, the oil is a Gulf Formula G 5W-40... I cannot edit the title ...

* As we could imagine after the excellent results of this oil in the russian oxydation test (#russiansdidit), this oil performs very well for the price. * Additived with 10ml ZDDPPlus for 4 liters

* Additived with 10ml ZDDPPlus for 5 liters * HC oil based on recycled oil, the Pennasol performs well but not last long...

Yes, I know, but when you said:"Undoubtedly there are other organic EP components", we can have a look at the MSDS to complete the information if some of them are listed in the MSDS and invisible on the VOA. With no guaranty there are no others Despite in this case, the two components listed...

MSDS gives Amines, C12-14-tert-alkyl and Oleyl amine http://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/msds/fuchs/TITAN%20SINTOPOID%2075W-90_sds.pdf

As stated before, I cannot buy oil at my local dealers, because oil is like alcohol, over taxed, 2 or 3 times the price... Exemple, same Castrol oil: - normal price: 7€: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B005K8UHO6/?smid=A6Q47TDDDZ8YG - price in Sweden: 17€...

Thank you for your help zeng, I agree with you, I can turn and return the question in my head, the UTTO 5w30 is the best option to test... You know here in Sweden, it is not better than the third world for oils, as they are so taxed that I have to order them in Germany to get the right price...

Yes, TO-4 is backward compatible, and CAT says to stop using TO-2 because they say TO-4 is better... But 5w30 UTTO, which is the best choice for me concerning viscosity for all seasons, is TO-2 and not TO-4. So the question is: does chinese clutch accept TO-2 or need TO-4 ? Which means: is...

Thank you very much for this long answer As you understand, the problem is that the manual give the good viscosities, but give several types of possible oils which have all a completely different add pack... I think the safer would be to copy the add pack of the chinese one, Sinopec 8#. But...

Thank you Zeng. I still have questions about the oil for the powershift transmission because I cannot find any full equivalence between chinese and occidental norms and market availability... Especially, my problem is the friction coefficient needed for the clutch... I don't know what it...

I just found a 75w90 with 110 cst @ 40°C: http://www.zeller-gmelin.de/view/product...&isocode=en But it is a PAO... So the choice is between a mineral 99 cst or PAO 110 cst ...

I understand. The Addinol and Pennasol 75w90 are hydrocracked mineral oil, not PAO, as specified above in the MSDS snapshot The Q8 and all more expensive ones contain POA, so I will avoid them. So the pennasol remain the best one, both in term of price and mineral stuff. I have no way to...

Nice article, thank you For temperatures less than 70°C, mineral and PAG oils have significantly greater film thickness than PAO oils. So I will keep dino oils, assuming HC oils like 75w-90 are considered as mineral...

The only other affordable possibility is to use the Q8 T65 synthetic PAO oil with 92.8 cst for 7.5€/l. Not much viscosity, but PAO if it helps... But about chinese seals and PAO ? http://pds.q8research.com/sheetcommercialpdf.php?id=763&taal=E...
