Havoline synthetic 10w-30 = high flash / low NOACK

[69 Riv GS]

I was browsing their site and couldn't believe it.

Flash point C/F 258/496
NOACK 5%
cSt at 40C 61.4
cSt at 100C 10.1
pour point C/F -44/-47

Looks darn good for a group III, actually looks better than mobil 1(group IV); but you never hear much about it.
This oil has been showing great UOA's.

By the way, this is the only havoline PDS (dated sept/02) that differs from chevrons(oct/02), here's those specs:

Flash point C/F 249/480
NOACK N/A
cSt at 40C 66.3
cSt at 100C 10.4
pour point C/F
Thicker at 40C with a lower pour point, I wonder if it has a bit more depressants?

I think these are both excellent oils!

I have a sample kit from Blackstone waiting for my 2002 Explorer oil to be changed. It has 3,500 miles on the Havoline Synthetic 5W-30 as of now. I am going to test it at 5,000 miles but leave the oil in until I get the results back from Blackstone. This is the first UOA I will have done on this engine so I am real excited to see the results.
