So does Mobil 1 Triple Action. VOA looks very anemic. To take the guesswork out there are specification and tests that have to be met. So, if you're meeting and greatly exceeding those, I don't see there being an issue. It is a bit shocking when you look at some of the newer VOAs of the SP variety. But this trend has been going on for 20 years now?Yeah I get what you are saying with replacement additives. However. Pennzoil Plat High Mileage, SP formulation, has a ridiculously bad looking additive package all around. AND a TBN of 5 something which is like…***.
Someone said TBN is outdated. I’d like someone to explain that to me and also what other things are outdated now? Do we even trust oil analysis anymore?
TBN may be showing lower though due to the test not being able to detect ashless additives. That's something to keep in mind.

I am running this now. SP VOAs are not that interesting to look at 😁
