Interesting. They should add it to the data sheet. @HPL Plant Manager any more info on this product as it wasn't available when the No-VII line came out (Euro 5W30 no-VII was the highest grade)...or is this just a typo? I seem to recall that they coudln't do a 40 b/c of the lack of VIIs to get the viscosity spread for the winter grade?

Their PCMO also is 10w40

We developed the Euro No VII 10W-40 specifically for the EcoDiesel engine market, as there was demand for this particular viscosity. At the time, it was produced exclusively in 12x1 quart cases, and I did not collect comprehensive data on it and can only provide the basic viscosity information(below). Essentially, the formulation was a modification of the 10W-30 to achieve a 10W-40 grade.

@TiGeo , you are correct that creating a 40-grade in a 5W formulation isn’t feasible due to the need for viscosity index improvers (VIIs) to achieve the required winter grade spread. However, a 10W formulation was possible.

Perfect, thanks for the info.
