Castrol HM 5W-30 & 10W-30

[Rick]

Does anyone have the msds sheet for this oil?
I would like to know the actual vis of these oils at cold minus temps and hot temps.

Thanks all to who respond

Anyone?

I will have a UOA on GTX HM 5w30 in October, from my mom's 94 Probe GT. It has been in her car since the spring, and will have roughly 2000 to 2200 miles on it by then. (lots of short trips)

At work, I can get to the MSDS for almost any Castrol motor oil.

Les, how about the 0w-30 from Germany? MSDS, and anything else you can get.

Edit: Never mind re: MSDS--saw it in your other post.

But what else can you get on this oil? Data specs?
