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.

Castrol is not special on 5w30 and 5w40 and overpriced here. For me ruled out 99% times.

Thanks for testing it.
