Any archive for old motor oil formulations?

[Red Crow]

Just wondering, does anyone know of an archive of previously used oil formulations? Something that would list % of base oil(ie group II, III, ETC), and the additive package?

Well there isn't one now so finding such information about past products is highly unlikely.

I dont have any way to formulate motor oil. I just have become curious about the formulas of past motor oils, but I'm finding virtually no information about them.

You can find some of the specifics of prior API licenses if you look around.

If I had the capability, I would like to try my hand at blending my own group 4/5 synthetic 0w30 engine oil.
