I thought this oil had a NOACK of 5.6 or was that the older version?NOACK of this oil is 7.6 which is nice.
The number I got from German Oil Club. Someone had it analyzed in lab in Finland.I thought this oil had a NOACK of 5.6 or was that the older version?
Al and Iron are metal inhibitor chemistry....Not sure if the Al and other metals are part of the formula or somehow snuck in...
No, it has 11ppm of Magnesium. It may be the new salicylate dispersant.Could this be used in a direct injected motor?
Seems most lspi oils are low in Ca and higher in Mg. This has zero Mg
TBN is always like this in C3 category.TBN seems low...Thanks for sharing.
And I understand the possible ways in which TBN might still be important but I don't think it is for the majority of applications.TBN is always like this in C3 category.
This has already been covered a few times; it’s due to ashless detergents. It’s said that D4739 reads ashless detergents 1.5-2.0 points low, so the result is identical to the D2896 for all intents & purposes. Once the oil is used, you now have an apples to apples comparison.TBN is falsely understated due Test Method D4739 which I suspect is used by Blakstone. Test Method D4739 uses hydrochloric acid which is weaker than perchloric acid used in Test Method D2896 to determine TBN of virgin oil. Test Method D4739 is usually used to determine TBN for oil in service.
All the results of VOA's on Russian oil club for TBN are determined by Test Method D2896. TBN of M1 ESP SAE 5W-30 tested in 2018 was 8.61 and TAN 1.48. Other oil properties numbers are pretty much similar to what you posted.
From a fresh 5qt jug that looks like it has a 2022 package date on it. Jug was shaken, seal removed, and poured straight into sample container. Not sure if the Al and other metals are part of the formula or somehow snuck in. I've never found a VOA for this oil, so was curious to test it out before it goes into our 2018 CRV.
