Anyone have any experience/heard anything about this oil?
My interest comes from
SNIP
I've heard somewhat mixed opinions wrt to how well Falex Wear ASTM D-2670 and the TFOUT oxidation test ASTM D-4742 relate to engine wear
Here are some specs, a bit dated (Apr 2002)
Heavy-duty engine oil made from select synthetic & paraffinic oils
Contains MONOLEC, LE's exclusive wear-reducing additive reduces wear by up to 24.2 % per radioacive ring wear tests
Shear-stable viscosity modifier has been incorporated to achieve the high VI to span the SAE 10W-30 grade
Gravity 32.4
Viscosity,
SUS @ 100 F 383.5
SUS @ 210 F 66.32
cSt @ 40 C 75.38
cSt @ 100 C 11.80
cP @ -20 C, ASTM D-5293 3,500 max
cP @ -30 C, ASTM D-4684 60,000 max
HTHS Viscosity @ 150 C, cP, ASTM D-4683 2.9 min
Viscosity Index 145
Color Red
Flash Pt, F (C) 425 (218)
Pour Pt, F (C) -33 (-36)
TBN, ASTM D-2896 10.0
Sulfated Ash, Mass %, ASTM D-874 1.0
Specs Exceeded:
API, CF, CH-4/SH Caterpillar TO-2
MIL-L-2104E CCMC D4, D5, G4, G5, PD2
MIL-L-46152E Daimler Benz 226.1 & 227.1
Mack EO-M Plus VW 500.00 & 501.01
GM 6094M Allison C-4 Fluid
Ford ESE-M2C-153E Volvo VDS
Other notes:
- 8130 is very similar to 8800.
- the add pak is almost the same
- the base oil is the same
- both have phosphorus.

Benefits of LE's Passenger Car Engine Oils are:
Improved fuel efficiency
Increased engine life
High detergency that keeps engine clean
Easier cold temperature starts
Protection against high temperature
Exceeds manufacturers specifications
8130 MONOLEC® ULTRA-BLEND Engine Oil (SAE 10W-30)
Unsurpassed performance
Effective cold cranking at low ambient temperatures
Excellent performance at higher temperatures
Unique blend of select synthetic and paraffinic base oils.
8530 MONOLEC® SPB Engine Oil (SAE 5W-30)
High quality blend of synthetic and paraffinic base oils.
"All season" performance for gasoline engines in automobiles and light duty trucks
Exceeds the most recent energy-conserving ILSAC GF-2 and API SJ specifications
8800 MONOLEC® ULTRA Engine Oil
Long -drain SAE 15W-40
Designed for year-round extended drain service in diesel and gasoline engines for fleet and industrial use
No other petroleum lubricating oil, regardless of price, will be found superior in condition to LE's 8800 MONOLEC® ULTRA Engine Oil at the end any given period of use
Available Grades :
Product # SAE Grade TBN
8530 5W-30 6.2
8130 10W-30 10.0
8800 15W-40 10.0
