Oh yeah! on the VOA. Yup, lost in translation.See how Engine is spelled at the top "Engein".
Made by Shell, i'd definitely use this in my N if comparable to M1, Castrol, Pennzoil, Valvoline etc., pricewise.
C3 so you know it should be up to snuff & help with the tailpipes. I just spotted the Shell logo after you said that...sweet! Now go rev your engeins!!
Doesn't appear that Oxidation was tested but TBN at 12 is interesting.
Oils rated C3 cannot have such high TBNs. They will likely need to be upgraded to A3/B4.
From my quick research it appears there is a minimum of >6 TBN but I don't see a maximum listed. Do you happen to have that?
Was it tested twice? Is that why there are two columns that are mostly identical, with some small differences in the bottom five additives? I'm trying to understand as I am entering the numbers into our VOA Database.
As a side note, I hate when labs use "<2" or similar. For all the values that are <2 above, I'm just entering "1" (which is less than 2, but not 0, which they also have results of).
The sulfate ash content is also calculated to be over 0.9%, exceeding the ACEA C3 standard. The lab tested twice. ICP test results are subject to significant variation and are not absolute values.
