Any 2 Euro oils you guys would like to see a VOA for?

[BurntMusic]

Long story short, I'm bored. I work from home (and have been since march) and want something to do that will spark some conversation. I have 2 blackstone sample containers left so I'd be willing to pay for 2 oil analysis (with TBN).

So BITOG, tell me, what 2 euro oils would you guys like to see VOA'd? Preferably an oil that hasn't already been VOA'd recently and one that I can get in the US.

 

[RooflessVW]

Triax Euro Ultra VX 5W-30!

 

[slacktide_bitog]

Napa has Liqui-Moly, so pick two of those

 

[Wolf359]

How about some MB 229.71 oils? There's only one Mobil ESP x2 0w20 out there.

VW 508 00/509 00 approved one:
25-50% PAO
~10 USD/L here in Taiwan

Castrol EDGE Professional LL IV FE 0W-20

Hopefully something widely available (not a boutique oil) online or in stores so more people can benefit.

Where can I find it in the US?

Any particular liqui moly?

Are you saying the Mobil ESP or any from the list? i'm confused

VW 508 00/509 00 approved one:

Castrol EDGE Professional LL IV FE 0W-20

Already has a VOA

Longtime High Tech 5w30 (I think it comes in a light blue bottle)

 

[Wolf359]

Any from that list that would be readily available in the US and the cheapest. There's some Castrol out there. I was just being very specific about the Mobil 1 oil, there are many Mobil 1 0w20 out there, but only one has that MB 229.71 spec.

I've posted VOAs for Leichtlauf High Tech 5W40 and Molygen 5W40 if you are interested in those 2.

 

[Luisds]

Liqui-Moly Molygen New Generation 0W-20 OR Synthoil Longtime 0W-30

Triax Euro Ultra VX 5W-30!

Like my old boss at O’Reilly said when I bought a can of Pentosin CHF 11S (with his strong Virginia accent), “What the heck is that stuff?”

 

[Jimmy_Russells]

Mobil 1 ESP, either 30 grade
Pennzoil Euro LX 0w30

 

[Jimmy_Russells]

Haha

My boss is similar, we have a local German specialty store which carries Fuchs, Total, LM and Motul. He needed some oil for a customer and looked through them and was like... I don't know what any of this is . He then ordered Castrol from a different place.

 

[dlundblad]

I say Castrol Edge A3/B4 5w30 and Castrol 0w40.

That's why I threw it out there. I'm curious. "Meets or exceeds" but has an HTHS too low for formal approval. I'd be interested to see a VOA. Not priced too bad either, at $118 for a bucket on Amazon.

Pennzoil 0w-40 euro.

 

[mattwithcats]

I posted a VOA of Pennzoil Euro 0W-40 a while ago, formula may have changed since then...

How about Liqui-Moly Synthoil Energy A4 0W-40?

Synthoil Energy A40 SAE 0W-40

Modern, fully synthetic top-of-the-line motor oil. Provides quick oil delivery throughout the engine during cold-start and optimum lubrication with maximum protection under all operating conditions. Beneficial for increased engine life in high tech engines. Use with extended oil change intervals...

[Mainia]

Redline Euro 5w-30 Then a run of Redline Euro 5w-40 in a summer test.

 

[DrDanger]

Fuchs Titan GT1 (5w-40) is a Euro cheapy(well relatively), used to be with high PAO content(30-50%). Now we know they switched to mostly Group 3.
But is there any PAO left... and how good is the add pack. If Fuchs is available over there it would be nice to see if the cheaper Euro oils are
like the Motuls and Liqui-Moly.
