Base oils MSDS

[BrianC]

What group base oil/oils would be represented here?

"The following components are listed: Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated heavy
paraffinic; White mineral oil (petroleum); Distillates (petroleum), solvent-dewaxed heavy paraffinic"

Thanks

Probably none. Looks like diesel and some other distillates. Is this an oil additive of some kind?

Its on the MSDS of AMSOIL Signature Series 0w20 on page 6 by New Jersey.

Nothing is listed in the ingredient section.

Well normally I've seen Gr3 to say severely hydrotreated or hydro cracked. Maybe that's 3+, and what you are showing is Perhaps is gr3.

It's not 4 or 5. You didn't provide the percentages. If it's 45-60% this stuff then the remainder maybe Gr4 or whatever.

Percentages are not listed. I'm just curious that Polyalfaofelins are not mentioned at all.

Why? It's possible the oil doesn't contain any.

The "heavy paraffinic" means group II+/group III. If it were to say "severely treated" that would mean group III/III+.
