M1 0w40 ESP X3 DEXOS 2 VOA

[CivicFK2TypeR]

I had an analysis of this oil done here in Germany. It seems as if the composition in Europe is a little different. When asked which base oil is used, they wrote to me that it is probably group 2 and group 3, with esters and HC. Doesn't sound very good about the quality or what do you think?

In my analysis the ESP X3 has the SN Plus Specification.

It's mainly GTL + little PAO + mix II/III (probably own M1 II+).
Previous 0w40 ESP and this are very good oils.

What analysis did you have done that showed base stock composition? Can you share the results?

Or are you saying you just did a spectrographic analysis?
