Did confirm that Method A was used.

I have asked what procedure was used, there are three options per the spec (A,B, and C) - see below regarding potential difference. If Procedure A was used it would explain the low value plus variability. I have typically seen B when looking at oil specs. Quote: 1.1 This test method covers...

Below is a NOACK results for Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40 - from the same bottle I did a VOA from. NOACK value came in below anything I would of expected and wonder if its a highly variable test... Link to VOA: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthr...o_5#Post4435754

Ravenol Super Synthetic SSL 0W-40 VOA Thinking of using this in my Audi S3 - NOACK is low, Group 4 from the specs and what the oil-club is saying and should preform pretty well. Waiting on my Pennzoil Platinum Euro NOACK test to come back to see what it will come in at.

VOA for Ravenol Vollsynth Turbo VST 5W40 This is for the "2016" version as the new updated spec sheet for 2017 list BMW LL-01 as an approved spec and slight difference in NOAK. Thinking of using this in place of PP Euro 5W40 in my Audi S3. Batch Date: 11.07.16

See below for VOA for Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W40. The first 1 is from last year and 2 is the recent ones. Test 1: Batch Date: 17 Mar 16 TEST 2: Batch Date: 28 Feb 17

The graph at the bottom is one that I have made to help normalize Iron wear by ppm per 1k miles driven on the oil. They do include graphs at the end of the report but i tend to use my plots to help track wear as its normalized. Just for kicks below is the fuel milage plot for between 10-15k...

Below is the UOA on my 2016 Auid S3 8V (EA888 Gen 3 Engine). For this last UOA (#4) it was using Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w40. Somewhat surprised to see fuel dilution come up - I had same values for my 2006 GTI - but will keep eye on it for next round and see what it coems by as that UOA was...

It is a cast iron block.

Originally Posted By: FlyNavyP3 Was the VOA performed on the same bottle or lot of oil used in the car? I'd suspect not considering some of the additives are significantly higher in the UOA than the VOA such as Boron, Calcium, phosphorous and zinc. The engine shouldn't produce those. Either that...

Yes it does - that was my mistake in confusing it with the 0w30 blend, seems like I am past the editing window. Thanks for the correction!

Originally Posted By: nicrfe1370 Thanks for the VOAs agpatel! The Castrol and Pennzoil both seem to be great oils, according to the data and results we've seen so far. No problem! I wanted to do some VOA for some oils I was thinking of using with the same lab I was going to do UOA with to help...

I was going with 5w40, but other than low temp viscosity what advantages would the 0w40 have? I was going to go with 5w40 as it was "better approvals" vs the 0w40 but have not looked in depth yet. Mine is sepang blue also and loving the color...the car is a fun little one to drive around.

From the 0w40 VOA I got back it did not have Boron in it so it may be some other formulation than the typical Edge? Someone with more knowledge would have to answer that. I am most likely going to use Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w40 as my going forward oil unless others have better suggestions for...
