I mailed the sample to Oil Analyzers Indianapolis on Monday and received the report by Wednesday. On my submission form I did not include product brand or information. Only product viscosity grade.

The TBN is lower than Mobil 1 Euro 5W-40, along with less B and Mo, though with a touch more ZDDP. This oil recently sheared -13.66% in KRL, shearing down to a 30 grade in both KV100 and HTHS.

Terrible results for the Castrol. I'd stay away from that oil. One could argue though that it meets some demanding specs.
