Hello internet and BITOG faithful. here is the goss from downunder.
Nulon over priced their race oil products ($110-120AUD/5L.) As such they were not real stock turner's. Thus last week SuperCheapAuto did a runuout to clear inventory at $48/5L. As such I snapped up the last 3 5W30 5L tins in South Australia. These oils are rather unique in their base oil composition containing a blend of POA's (G-IV) and the rare Alkylated Naphthalene (G-V) base stocks. They even have a slightly different smell to them as a result. Colour is a typical maple syrup brown, rahter than the light honey of say a Shell Helix Ultra GTL oil.
Of note is that Nulon DO-NOT rate this oil by either SAE, ACEA or any other OEM standards.
here is the product:
Product page can be found here
Product bulletin can be found here
and MSDS can be found here
As nulon have been rather tight lipped about their product I thought I'd get a VOA done at my local CAT dealer.
As you can see it's jam packed full of ZDDP, has near as makes no difference 700ppm Moly and 100ppm Boron. Mostly a Calcium based detergent package with a little both of Manganese for good measure. This will be the duty oil in my soon to be tuned GTiR pulsar. Should do the trick. With a TBN close to 10 and a VI of close to 170 it looks to be a robust package. But definitely not a low or mid SAPS oil... With a 100°C viscosity of under 10, it's fairly typical of modern 30W oils. but with that high VI number, it should hold that viscosity better as the going gets tuff,
Regards
