Last time I looked the Autolab stuff was SJ rated.
So maybe it's full of zinc!

Motomaster Oil...?

I remember looking at your Motomaster synthetic used oil analysis. IIRC, the TBN was low despite a relatively short drain interval of only 5000km/3k miles. When I thought about it, I was inclined to believe that the lab goofed on that somehow -- either botched the test, or mis-transcribed the TBN onto the used oil analysis report. I have a hard time believing a TBN would be trashed in any reasonable running engine after such a short interval, even if your engine is known to be somewhat hard on oils.
I would definitely like to see some more used oil analysis on the MM synthetic before I reached any conclusions.
My next run will be on f1 synthetic and I'll do a used oil analysis after 5000 miles. This won't happen until summer though cause I'm only 2000 miles into my 5000 mile run on tech 2000 syn and I don't drive much.
Does this mean their Motomaster synthetic blend 5w30 is the exact same product as their silver jug stuff but at a higher price?
Maybe the Nugold is the same product as the red jug stuff, too, but at a lower price. That would be so funny.
Because my truck calls for 20wt oil and 0w30 xd-3 is almost a 40wt.
Drivebelt, it is possible the lab goofed. However I submitted 2 samples at the same time when that was done : one was the F1 Synthetic and the other was Quaker State Q Synthetic, both samples had 6500 km (4000 miles) from the same engine. TBN on the Quaker State Synthetic came out 1 or 2 point higher than the F1.

I don't know anything about Motomaster...I just wanted to be the first person from the States to post on this thread.

It's either SL or SM now, I forget which. I don't think it's energy conserving though. Definitely not SJ, unless you find old stock. Unlikely since it seems to sell out pretty quickly around here.
Just checked today, Autolab is SG SH SJ SL
Just saw that my local CT is now stocking this stuff in quart bottles for $5.99 each. FYI. Can't remember the cost at the dealer.

I noticed that too. I was wondering why there was a bunch of ATF in the motor oil section.
Just picked up a 5 l jug of this in 10w30 for my van.However I don't see the starburst sign on it anywhere.Should I still use it?

That's probably because it's the HM variety.

Torrid. That's because everyone that buys oil (older folks) thinks in miles anyway.
I do.

It has always been referred to as mileage, whether the UOM are KM or Miles.

Yep, and I can't see oil companies wanting two trade names, one for each side of the border.
