When TGMO moly is weak, HPL says hold my beer.

Is 10 ppm Aluminum and 17 Silicon okay?

--Moderate dose of stable star polymers.
--Ideal combo of basestock components.
--Add pack of perfection.
--Extended OCIs with confidence.

Premium Plus is my favorite High Performance Lubricants offering.

The calcium is a bit high for my taste. Without proper K2 if could cause plaguing in the oil passages.

The KV100 is wrong but do we expect anything less from Blackstone at this point? I think this is the 4th 5th wrong KV100 that I've personally seen from them in just the last month. Have them rerun that as it should be a full cSt higher.

Both are from additives. Nothing to be concerned about.

What?

You just can’t help yourselves

Added to the VOA Database. There is another VOA of this oil from July of last year that was tested by Oil Analyzers and there's a lot of similarities, but some significant differences. The aluminum, boron, silicon, phosphorus, viscosity, and TBN all stand out. I don't know if there's been a slight formulation change in 6 months, or we're seeing differences in labs.

Izzat a plague kinda like that Wuhan Flu everyone was worried about a few years back ?

Did OP just make up bogus VOAs and randomly troll the boards posting them?
Before being banned?

I doubt the validity of their posts.

Ever since that post that Blackstone (and potentially other labs) hot swaps oil in their tester without cleaning in-between, you can get some cross contamination from the previous sample, so there is always that.

Labs. HPL tests every batch internally in a $M lab and keeps records for quality. I’m willing to bet that sample reads more like OAI than the other place.

The formula hasn't changed. That's just Blackstone for you.

OAI is consistently closer while still being rather variable. Though OAI is better about cleaning between samples and calibrating equipment, they're still shooting the sample through the ICP in about 10 seconds. Thus, the MoE is going to be larger. HPL's equipment is superior to those labs and they slow it down to thoroughly analyze each sample for several minutes. They're not processing hundreds of $30 UOAs a week though.
