Sure looks like Delvac 1...
w00t! Thanks Eiron!
It may be this is the Delvac 1 basestock with a slightly different additive chemistry?
I'd also like to see the TBN and boron levels ....
Phosphorus should be about 80% of the zinc level, since these are chemically combined. So I'd estimate P @ 1100 ppm....

Can we suppose that they will put a tracer in this oil to distinguish it from the Delvac 1 ?
This is Delvac 1. Compare the "Truck and SUV" to the Delvac 1 figures below:
Aluminum 1
Iron 2
Boron 154
Silicon 6
Sodium 1
Calcium 2107
Magnesium 421
Phosphorus 1090
Zinc 1216
TBN 14.8

Will this oil be rated for both gas & diesel engines??

Looks like it will be a good motorcycle oil.
It turns out Cat Synthetic 5W-40 is also repackaged Delvac 1 (did Doug or Jerry already point this out?), so if you have access to this oil at a decent price, it might be a good deal.
Glad to help out! The lab I use for UOAs provides free VOAs as a service to their customers. They want you to know your "baseline" reading for whichever oil you're going to be using. Since I'm switching all my vehicles over to this oil (primarily due to protecting the one engine with a turbo), I was curious to know how similar it really was to Delvac 1.
I guess the real thanks goes to the fine folks over at H.O.Penn Machinery, since it's their lab providing the service.

Thanks Eiron for doing the VOA. It has now confirmed hands down that the "Truck and SUV" oil is Delvac 1.
Today I sent a sample of the same Mobil 1 T&S 5W-40 to OAI/CTC. I was curious enough what the TBN is to send it in even though Eiron has already helped us out. I'll post the results as soon as I get them.
nicrfe1370,
Thanks for running another VOA of this stuff! The more info we have, the better decisions we can make.
CLguy,
Did you find nicrfe1370's VOA over here? Also, Sarg posted yet another VOA here. (
to Sarg, too!)
Shannow,
I don't understand. How would that make life easier? What would that provide that a CI-4/SL oil doesn't? Thanks for the help!

It seems some people on this site think M1 Truck&SUV is slightly differently formulated from D1. Is there still no consensus?
By the way, my 2.8 l Audi gas engine seems to love this oil. Consumption has been next to nil over the past 1200 miles, the engine sounds great and runs smoothly. I've recommended this oil to another Audi driver, and his motor has quieted down, too.
