It's pretty clear to me that virgin oxidation value does give you some idea of the ester component.That oxidation reading is wild isn't it.
Greater than >30 Ester (Percentage %)? They state 50% on another sheet? If you've seen it I'll take your word for it.Here is Valvoline VOA for Restore which Valvoline specifically states is 50% POE.
Virgin Oxidation - 110.

It is not 100% accurate because there are so many different esters, but the numbers I have posted match up extremely well to the point that it's hard to say otherwise IMO.Greater than >30 (Percentage %)? They state 50% on another sheet? If you've seen it I'll take your word for it. Just curious
Just dug up this pdf on this restore oil
Wow, that’s a pretty big drop in fuel%… was there any significant change in usage? If not, that (to me, at least) would be a pretty powerful signal that the rings weren’t sealing very well prior to Restore, and then your longest run listed also has the least fuel?I have 3 gals of Valvoline "Restore" I plan to use on one or more of my high mileage gasoline engines. Here's a UOA I found.
I'll send a virgin sample in for a baseline when the time comes.

You might be on to something here...But if they run it again under the same situation & it comes back at 4% it's not working very good or it's another mechanical issue. lolWow, that’s a pretty big drop in fuel%… was there any significant change in usage?

It wouldn't surprise me with those guys LOL.There is actually a uoa on mobil jet oil running in a car on Russian oil club

That report is not about anything I own. It's a report I found on the interweb somewhere? I don't know who it belongs too?Wow, that’s a pretty big drop in fuel%… was there any significant change in usage?

What "terrestrial" global vehicle requires a 5 cSt@100C engine oil with only one base oil (POE) and three chemical components?There is actually a uoa on mobil jet oil running in a car on Russian oil club
don't know, ask the Russian's. Still good uoa with only 1 ppm ironWhat global vehicle requires a 5 cSt@100C oil with only one base oil (POE) and three chemical components?

Here are the Priolube 1973 specs mentioned in the patent.It is not 100% accurate because there are so many different esters, but the numbers I have posted match up extremely well to the point that it's hard to say otherwise IMO.
I can try and find the Valvoline Restore article that mentions that it's 50% POE.
Here is the patent for it:
