Good thing we communicate because I have some m1 ep 0w20 I can do if you wanna do the hm
FREE Oil Sampling/Analysis Kit From Chevron
- Thread starter BlueOvalFitter
- Start date
I actually just sent a VOA sample of the m1 ep 0w20 to Blackstone the other day so you can save it for another. I’ll send the HM version with the Chevron kit when I get it.
"New oil may not be clean enough to suffice the lubricant cleanliness needs for your equipment. Chevron will conduct a new lubricant health check to report the fluid cleanliness level, water, ICP and if it is suitable for your operation."
It will interesting when some of you get results back.

I'm going to send in some Supertech 5W-30 Full Synthetic
Has anyone actually received one if these test kits? I submitted a request for one about 3 months ago and it never showed up.
Lol I was gonna ask if anyone got a confirmation of some sort, that they would receive one. I got zero confirmation.
I wonder if it’s more aimed at business/quick lubes of fleet owners. I did list a company and selected “construction” on the form.
So, what you're stating is, I should do a VOA on the Havoline HM oil?
Thanks everyone for participating so we can spread out the tests and cover more basis.
I haven't decided yet, but most people probably have and can test 20 and 30 weights but we don't have a lot of 40 weight tests. I acquired a lot of Carquest which is now apparently Fram - same formula but different label. I'm thinking of doing the 5w40 since we seem to have a lot of 20 and 30 weights covered elsewhere. Or I might do the Valvoline 0w40, M1 0w40, or Castrol Edge 0w40.
Anyone with feedback or overlap on these so I don't replicate someone elses' submission?

Yes, or something else if you like. The chevron and Napa semi are posted in the voa section.

M1 0w40 has already been tested by TiGeo last Decemberish. Unless you think the formula may have changed, I’d test something else. My vote is for the Valvoline 0w40.
on another note, I will not be testing the Mobil 1 I said I would earlier. I’ve changed it to the Kendall 5w30 hp liquitek I recently ordered, once that is tested, my entire stash will be voa’ed.
As soon as the kit comes in I'm there.
I got an email from them asking if my address was a business address. I have a feeling most, if not all of us are not getting any kits.
Really, I got no email and used a business related email address and my home address which is where the office is located. What did you respond with?
on another note, I wonder if this is even a voa like we’re used to or just a quick “your oil looks good to run, if you’d like our chevron supreme would be an excellent choice for your fleet, we’ve included your local chevron distributor contact information for bulk pricing on our chevron supreme”.
I got an email about the business address and when I supplied it they sent the kit which was delivered by Fedex yesterday. It is just a small package with a bottle, I will open it and take a picture later today.
I also got another email saying they look forward to discussing my needs. I think this is a can of worms best left closed, the last thing I want is to be hounded by some Chevron employee. LOL
Hi Paul,
I received your request for a complimentary sample from our free sample promotion. I will have that shipped out this week. You should expect it within the next 10 days at most.
Looking forward to getting your results and speaking with you further.

I told them it was a business address and haven't heard back. I'll see what happens tomorrow.
I got it and wish I never bothered with this. I didn't use it and am not going to but even 10 min ago I got another daily call from Chevron and emails every day. They are hounding me as bad as any spammer.
Edit: Right after posting i got another email, nothing bad but every day and the calls even after I told them by voice and email I am not using it and am not interested. They have a couple of bucks invested in postage so they will make me pay. LOL
