from Stinky Petersons data -RIP
5w-30
YB left column, MCSS right column

Mo 179-34
Bo 51-trace
Ca 1476-1732
P 556-602
Zn 668-655

Ive read the CP guy going on about special cut from the tower to get polar naphthenes in the mix for enhanced lubricity - so maybe thats the Motorcraft trick. I dont think its any more semisynth than any other GF4 like say, clean5000


MC was apparently reformulated sometime in 2008, it got a nice dose of boron.

Old MCSB - New MCSB

Mo: 34 - 30
Bo: trace - 157
Ca: 1732 - 1711
P: 602 - 551
Zn: 655 - 698

Well there you go! BoBo! Yeah!, baby! It's back on my list ( after a nasty oci with Kendall GT-1 two years ago).

No Sb. Gary, I didnt "get" your question, because I saw the VOA was pretty comprehensive and covered MORE than the usual suspects. Will not most additives have elemental metal stuck in the polymer to polarise it? I know Ti is the new thing for HDEO.

Motorcraft IS the new Havoline because of the consistant low price and high quality.
