according to uoa's on bitog it is a good light grade 0W-20 demonstrating excellent shear stability under normal use, with very good additive retention results in these uoa's. this speaks about quality in all aspects.
If this is true then the TGMO 0w-20 is an excellent engine oil!

For a deeper quality assessment though someone independent should test this TGMO under short trip driving conditions for extended period and mileage use.

In regards to the CATERHAM blend I have a family member with a 2006 Lexus ES330 that is specced for 5w30.
Its regularly had PP 5w30 but would/could it benefit from your blend? They are happy with how it runs now but as I saw such gains and improvement with a high vi oil do you think it possible they would to?

Hi Roob,

The 2006 Lexus ES330 has been back-spec'd for TGMO 0W-20 so you can run it straight. The following is the Lexus oil recommendation chart:

Thanks again CATERHAM.
I should have searched but I'm recovering from another procedure and so messed up on quality medications that it was easier to ask.

Cheers...
