Tell me if the name below represent the additive normally found in regular engine oil and tell me which are not:

Boron,Barium,Calcium,Magnsium,Molybdenum,sodium, phosphorus, sulfur, zinc.

Sulfatation, nitration, what those number are supposed to tell me ?

Once again thanks for your time

Also, for nitration and oxidation you want that to be below 100%, above 50% means the oil has been used up quite a bit.

Haven't seen sulfation but I suggest the same thing, because that is prob associated with acid.

TBN is associated with them too, generally when it drops down very low (below 2 I think) the oxidation and nitration accelerate. It also allows the engine to make acids which corrode parts!
