Havoline ProDs 5w30

[mpgo4th]

This is from a 6 qt. box dated 7/8/2020 that I got at Walmart. It’s SN plus rated still and the lab was supposed to do TBN but didn’t. I have emailed them and will update when I get a response.

Ran it in my Canyon for 7k, came back fine.

About on par with Project Farm's VOA on QSUD, but with nearly double the phosphorous.

Thanks for the VOA, for ~$3/qt it seems like a good deal. I've run the 5W20 in my Transit Connect and it served well. The 6 qt box is great for someone who needs 4-5 quarts for the sump yet burns, uses, or leaks some during the OCI.

The Phosphorus level looks abnormally high.

The new SP oils have high phosphorus.

Decent shot of moly too. Nice.

Did API remove caps on the P/Zn for SP?
Or is this a lab calibration issue?

Great oil and a great price , defiantly a fan of Chevron products.

I’m not sure what limits are allowed but this is one of multiple SP samples that show elevated phos and zinc.

I agree 100%

From the latest edition of API 1509, page 75, under SP:

ASTM D4951 or D5185, phosphorus % mass, maxf 0.08g NR 0.08g

ASTM D4951 or D5185, phosphorus % mass, minf 0.06g NR 0.06g

I faintly recall an old post on this forum about labs having calibration issues, and P/ZN being the two elements where it is often an issue. I could be mistaken though.
