Any chance theres a VOA for the reformulation out yet? I cant seem to find it, granted i am a bit scatterbrained right now and wanted to drop the Q here before I forget.

The SDS sheet is for what it is for hazardous materials involved!!!!, not a recipe for other than that. If a certain base oil formulation is not deemed dangerous then it is NOT on the sds list., the actual formulation is generally proprietary information. to the manufacture of the product. so only you are assuming what happens here.

learning for many is a ongoing process.

I wish they would make a 5W-40 in the Signature Series.

You and me both. I’d love a 5w-40 racing oil as that’s partly why I’m using HPL BARO on my Abarth.

Proof that prevention is the best approach in the first place.

How many cycles of the reference IIIH test are required for stuck rings to start appearing?

Excellent question. It's also important to keep in mind that the test engine (Stellantis Pentastar) is not what I would describe as a great example of an engine prone to this issue. I am surprised that the API continue to use it and that the sequence hasn't been revised to something more representative of the problems observed, which would be an offering that's DI and turbocharged.

I'd love to see Valvoline post similar test results. I'm curious what Amsoil can do to remove those piston deposits.

I haven't seen one yet. @Pablo said he'd send one though.
