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.Good thing we communicate because I have some m1 ep 0w20 I can do if you wanna do the hm
There are already sp voas of the first 2 up.My son is coming to visit me this weekend and he's changing the oil in our trucks engines. We haven't decided which brand of oil we will be using, but when we figure it out, I'm in.
Choices;
1)NAPA 5W30 semi synthetic
2) Chevron Supreme 5W30 semi synthetic
3) Havoline HM 5W30 synthetic
Lol I was gonna ask if anyone got a confirmation of some sort, that they would receive one. I got zero confirmation.Has anyone actually received one if these test kits? I submitted a request for one about 3 months ago and it never showed up.
So, what you're stating is, I should do a VOA on the Havoline HM oil?There are already sp voas of the first 2 up.
bitog member did the chevron, Paia did the Napa semi, both can be seen in the 30 voa compilation thread.
Yes, or something else if you like. The chevron and Napa semi are posted in the voa section.So, what you're stating is, I should do a VOA on the Havoline HM oil?
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.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?
As soon as the kit comes in I'm there.Yes, or something else if you like. The chevron and Napa semi are posted in the voa section.
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.LOL...Chevron is interested in fleets, not DY self folks like most of us. Nothing is free.
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?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.
I told them it was a business address and haven't heard back. I'll see what happens tomorrow.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 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.I’m wondering if it’s worth my time to fill out the application. Has anyone received a free analysis kit from Chevron?
I am reaching out today as a follow up to our complementary Lubricant Sample kit Promotion. We have not received any results from the lab for your oil submission. If you need any assistance or have any questions, please let me know.
When it comes to the life of your equipment, your first line of defense is your lubricant. If the lubricant in your equipment exceeds the OEM’s cleanliness recommendation, your equipment is experiencing increased wear that can lead to reduced component life, additional maintenance costs, and unplanned downtime. That’s why measuring cleanliness is so important – to use particle counting to measure the size and quantity of contaminants in your new and in-service lubricants and monitor lubricant health over time.
Ensuring Cleanliness is just as important for your equipment as viscosity and performance additives. At Chevron we specify lubricants to meet your needs: 1) Viscosity, 2) Performance, and 3) Cleanliness with Chevron ISOCLEAN Certified Lubricants.
