Motul VOA"s needed

[Flying_A]

Hey all,
It's been awhile... I'm looking to gather VOA's for some Motul products (X-Cess 5W-40, X-Clean 5W-40, 300 V 0W-40) and looking specifically for NOACK numbers as the TBN is listed on their respective Spec sheets. It would be great if the ZDDP was listed too

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why not buy a few quarts and do the VOAs?

I could but if the VOA's are lingering out there I'd like to save the $$$

Call Motul USA if you need the NOACK data, they're pretty good about providing that stuff.

Most of the 8100-series oils went through reformulation within the last year or two so any VOAs you find will be out of date.

Great, thank you for the advice. I did find VOA's luckily though. Albeit they're in Russian but the periodic table abbreviations are there as well as NOACK. Yay.

Would the standard (U.S. based) VOAs even tell you the NOACK??

No, it has to be measured with ASTM D-5800. There's a specific apparatus to measure it:

Thanks, that's what I thought, since I've never seen it on a VOA yet.

You could always call Blackstone and ask if they can test for it. I'm sure they could, but Motul is awesome with supplying data.
