In an effort to get "the news scoop" on most of you guys, I came across another OW20 motor oil being introduced, Shaeffer's Supreme 9000 0W20. Due in Feburary. I'll let someone else Google and post the product data sheet I saw here.
From the product data sheet, I gleaned the following details:
Viscosity@40C 42.37, Viscosity @100C 8.37, HT/HS 2.63, CCV@35C 5060, Flash pt 400F, TBN 7.84, NOACK 12.58. And to all of you who fall down to the altar of High VI oils, a VI of 178. I might add my commentary, that this VI figure is higher than all the other over the counter OW20 motor oils, such as Pennzoil, Mobil 1, Havoline Red Line and Valvoline.
Dexos-1 Approved, "Suitable" for all the Ford 20wt specs, Chrysler specs, and Honda HTO-06 specs.
I happen to be a fan of the smaller, trucking, agricultural & Industrial product based motor oil companies (Shaeffers, Lubrication Engineers), as compared to the larger automotive product based motor companies. Sure, you pay more for their products (because industrial customers aren't as price fickle as we consumers). Thus product price is sometimes taken out of the equation to insure a high quality product. For example, Lubrication Engineers has the highest VI 5W20 motor oil available (172), for those who wish to stick with a 5W20 oil. Makes me wonder what they could do if they made a 0W20.
Who will be the first to buy? I'll admit, the product specs look good on paper.
