Mobil 1 AFE 0W-30, Horizon & SpeeDiagnostix 2025

[2.7ecoboostFordBronco]

The samples of this M1 AFE 0W-30 for both labs were taken from the same 5 qt jug, one after the other at almost the same point in the pour midway through the bottle. The oil was purchased from and delivered by Amazon only 1 day prior to the sample being taken. I finally got the horizon test kits I ordered back in July through Amsoil and I wanted to compare results between SpeeDiagnositx and Horizon using as few variables as possible.

SPEED is off. Mg/Ca is not accurate. The OAI one is accurate. Thank you for sharing.

The ratio of Zn to P is also way too high on the Speed report.

Yeah, as @buster mentions, speed is off. Can you ask them to rerun then repost?

Added to the VOA Database. We now have four VOAs of this oil in there courtesy of you @2.7ecoboostFordBronco . Thank you, sir!

I agree with the others that SPEED's results are inconsistent with themselves and BS and OAI results.

@2.7ecoboostFordBronco did you request that SD rerun the sample?

No, because of the remark on the original report where they said the additive level variance was normal, I was afraid they wouldn’t want to do a rerun, so I didn’t ask. I will have another 3500-4000 mile AFE sample for them in a few weeks. I think I will send this one to SD, blackstone, and Horizon/OA for fun and because I have way too many test kits that I already paid for.

After that I’m switching to HPL premium plus PCMO 0W-30 in one 2.7 and I think Valvoline restore and protect 5W-30 in the other and will probably just use Horizon.

I didn’t realize that Speediagnostix and blackstone aren’t ASTM certified labs whereas Horizon/OA is. Even if I had known that I didn’t think it’d make the results so different.

I’ve moved over to Horizon/OAI exclusively at this point, as well. Value and quality seem to be top of the heap.

The SD report here is disappointing. And IMO, if I had any Blackstone kits left, I’d throw them away.
