Mercury Quicksilver Premium Plus TCW3

[joee12]

Here is a VOA of Mercury Quicksilver Premium Plus. The Premium Plus is designed for the Optimax engines, which is designed to combat carboning of plugs at lower RPMs(idling or trolling). The first set of numbers is a VOA of Pennzoil Premuim Plus(semi-syn). I spoke with the tech at Schaeffers who said the Moly is correct, they ran the sample again to double check. The tech also claimed that the base oil is semi-synthetic.

WOWZERS! Does moly burn that clean that it doesn't leave deposits? I also didn't expect to see zinc or phosphorus in either formula since I thought they left ash too...and what's up with the oxidation in the Pennzoil?
