How much PEA does this have? Your SDS shows 0.1% to 1% and your dosing is 1oz to 5 gallons. That makes it single to double digit ppm per gallon of fuel whereas top tier gas like Chevron is going to have triple digit ppm. In Season won't do anything. Your concentration of PEA is...

What's holding me back from buying this is lack of an official page with the exact performance claims. And maybe most importantly, a performance claim for CCD removal. CCD is not specifically mentioned anywhere.

Agreed. Just looking for clues. For example, I have less trust in Regane now seeing a big change in the product and SDS for the "Complete Fuel System Cleaner". It used to treat 35 gallons and now only 25 gallons. SDS suggests a bigger change in that version than the Regane and Regane High...

Here we go, inferring other people's intentions from our imagination.

Well that is for product 266710 with an SDS date of Aug 7 2025. The version sold at Walmart has a UPC of 023968387266 and Walmart's SDS finder says that is product 266701. Both Walmart's SDS dated Aug 16 2024 and the latest SDS on Chevron's website dated Nov 5 2025, say that the same...

Walmart does not come up as a participating location for me.

I have not used any station except Costco for a few years now. Freshest gas, tanks are monitored, additive level is beyond keep clean. Newer stations are huge and no queues, although the best prices are in busier areas since Costco apparently sets price in reference to local pricing.

If it has worked that quickly, you might want to change the filter. When Valvoline Restore and Protect works slowly on hard carbon deposits, it supposedly (per Valvoline) dissolves carbon into the oil. If it has worked quickly as in your case, it may have dislodged softer carbon. Lot's of...

Here was the explanation from ROC: It's acrylate. Crushed plexiglass (just kidding. Almost). We look at the formula for polyacrylates and see the ester group O-C=O. We go to the NIST library and look at the absorption at 1740. This oil has the same peak. There's no reason to doubt it. So...

Agreed. I compared the PDS for K & LL and said K looks like the same oil as LL:

Here is a link to 69 PDS's for "Edge 5w-30 LL" https://msdspds.castrol.com/msdspds/msdspds.nsf/CastrolResults?OpenForm&c=All&l=All&p=5w-30%20ll&n=&b=All&t=PDS&autosearch=No&autoload=No&sitelang=EN&output=Full&spu=Lubricants&unrestrictedmb=No&cols=0 They match the Edge 5w-30 LL product tested...

EVVO is $10+ a liter You must be buying the cheap trash Castrol EVVO to go with your frozen pizza.

I've actually been trying to understand from you what makes such a difference in approved oils. Is it just the base oils or something else?

LOL. Thanks for the high praise. I didn't really choose the oil. Just got it on sale. I had already chosen something that met the MB gold standard and appear to have made a mistake buying something else on sale that also meets the MB gold standard. Some gold standard.

Frozen pizza that meets the gold standard. Now I'm clear. It was the trash that met the gold standard that had me confused.

I did not make a claim that 229.51 / 229.52 exceeded 229.5. I said it had some tests where it exceeded 229.5. I am perfectly aware that there are a couple of areas where 229.5 exceeds the other two, namely in load carrying for fresh and aged oil. However, in the latest version of the tests that...

Phrasing of claims is really important so I am asking for clarification on this part: "in ASTM D6201 testing the additive has proven a 98% improvement over Top Tier base fuel for Intake Valve Deposits" So is this 98% improvement vs a top tier fuel that achieved less than 50mg of IVD at the end...

I can't see anything wrong with these Castrol Euro 5w-xx oils in their current incarnation. The 5w30 K has the same approvals as ESP 0w30 and this particular 5w30 K (if it is the same as the LL) has tested with 8.5% Noack (same as ESP 0w30) and 2% shear (vs 2.4% for ESP 0w30). The main...

The analysis and insight is clearly from Chip not LSJ. In the longer video, he touches on the statistical methods and models he has available to him. I think they also mentioned the analysis was on 20000 used oil analysis. When I watched, I kept an eye on Chip's expressions to what LSJ was...

If you or anyone else wants to compare a used oil analysis of the Castrol to dozens of other oils used in the same vehicle, take a look at this post: https://www.oil-club.ru/forum/topic/47892-castrol-edge-5w-30-ll-otrabotka-na-toyota-land-cruiser-prado-posle-4648km/?do=findComment&comment=2024960
