Pennzoil SM 10W30

[hominid7]

I sent this sample of virgin oil to Blackstone to get numbers on the batch before i ran it in my car. I plan to run a used oil analysis on the same oil after 3000-4000 miles.

The quart i took this from was shaken and opened new just prior to taking sample.

Holy boron! Pennzoil Conventional is a classic conventional oil that usually delivers. Hopefully it will work well for you.

Very nice! Thank you for posting the info.

Thanks...I thought a couple of the numbers looked a tad low, but all i had to go by is the 5w30 sample done by another lab. I'll be interested to see how it looks when it comes out of my engine in a couple of months.

I'm happy i got this done though, if for no other reason than to see the 1 reading of iron, so i can subtract that out when i get the UOA done.

Run of the mill,nice boron tho...

It will do as well or better than the rest of the conventional oils out there.

What form of Boron do you think Pennzoil uses?

They are upping the amounts in all their oils and seem to be dropping/eliminating the amounts of MoTDC.

Would this be Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN)?

I personally have no clue. Someone like bruce381 or Molakule might know.
