I know enough to know that I don't have a clue when it comes to MSDS interpretations. Anyone care to comment on this;

Citgo Superguard 5w-20. Is there anyway to tell from this msds if this oil is a GII, GII+, synth blend or just a POS? The product data sheet can be found here;

quote:Hey, this one is a Blend with approx. 15% PAO. The PAO is used as a Pour-Point Depressor and to improve the Viscosity Index.
Valvoline Maxlife 10w40 68037-01-4: 12-22% 64742-65-0: 64-74%
quote:So I could run one quart of M1 with my Maxlife and really beef it up for winter. But what about the 64-74% that apparently is Group I? I think I might make my own hi mile oil with the 5 quarts 10w40 Durablend and a quart of Mobil PAO.

quote:Blends need be profit makers too and since the CAS #'s are the same for group II/III here , when speaking of the Valvoline base oils I would doubt seriously that the posted 74-84% of the Durablend is group III in reality . More like 30% max IMO . BTW ,the CAS Number 64742-54-7 is not the only CASR number for hydrotreated or hydrockracked stocks anylonger . There are more .

quote:Right. Valvoline techs say all the Durablend grades are the same--about 30% synthetic. The rest of the 10w40 must be Gp II, which is a whole lot better than the 15w40's Gp I. Hey, I saw a case of the Durablend 10w40 in SJ at the store the other day.
