Have you seen the flashpoint on these oils. Its 365 degrees. Thats the worst flashpoint I've seen in a long time. The reports coming back on the oils are very good but, how much bearing does this low of a flashpoint overall say about this oil? I would like to try it.
MotorCraft, Conoco, Trop Artic flashpoint ?

Which TA were you looking at?
The 5w20 and 5w30 synthblends show a FP of 424F and 430F respectively here:
TropArtic SynthBlend 5w20/5w30
The 10w30 synthblend shows a FP of 445F here:
TropArtic 10w30 SynthBlend
Their standard 10w30, 10w40, 30, and 40 weights can be found here with FPs of 435F, 440F, 460F, 475F respectively:
TA Dino Motor Oil
More datasheets can be found here:
Phillips 66 Product Data Sheets
Sorry about the screw up. I got my info from an old site apparently. I will pass the good news onto two guys I know that are firm users of Trop Artic.
No screw up and nothing to be sorry about
I don't know why, but there are often many different versions of oil tech data sheets out there for a particular oil. Makes looking up data a pain in the rear
I like TA oils. I've played with lots of oils (just like most people on this site), but always seem to come back to TA. Currently running RedLine in two vehicles, Delvac 1300 in another, and just recently swiched back to TA from GC the other day in another.
Best wishes and happy hollidays!
Most of thes data sheets are old. Except for the first one all of the data sheets are GF-3.
The sheets are all less than 6 months old (7/2004). So this may be in part to their bringing out the new 5w30 and 5w20s in a synthblend first to meet GF-4 and the changes to 10w30 haven't been made yet or who knows. To be honest, the only GF-4 rated TA I've seen on the shelves here are the SynBlend 5w20/5w30's.
