Hey guys, hope you all are doing fine.
This is a oil used by Renault in Brazil in the newly released Renualt Kardian, a small 3 cylinder 1 litter turbo engine. Officially Renault calls this engine "TCe", but its code is HR10DDT.
Renault gives very little information about which is the correct oil for this engine, even the manual doesn't state this, but we know that dealerships in Brazil will use 5W-40 Motrio or Castrol GTX, in the case of the dealership I went to they stocked Motrio, so this is the one I did the virgin oil analysis on.
This oil is certified with ACEA A3/B4, from the Motrio website it is also certified API SL.
The analysis was made by ALS in Brazil, so it's in portuguese, but I guess the important stuff is fairly obvious.
What do you guys think? I actually thought the formulation is quite "modern" in a way considering the standards they use are pretty old: reasonable ZDDP, not too much Calcium because it has a good amount of Mg, and a tiny bit of B and Molly.
Contamination looks high for a virgin oil, do you guys thinks this is normal?
