Has anyone seen a VOA yet? It’s the SRT oil in API SN. It also comes in SP but I have not seen it here yet.
Planned VOA for Pennzoil Platinum Ultra 0w40
- Thread starter Snagglefoot
- Start date
On the way.

A few I've gathered here: UOA and VOA
Looks like it didn’t shear down very much as has been reported. I think they (FCA) wants people with 6.x L Hemi engines to use the unicorn embryo stem cells to get a kick back from Pennzoil/Sopus and the extra moly it contains is just a tracer. Viscosity is barely
over a 5w30 but higher than some of the thinner 5-30’s.
Just my.02.
All of it I’ve been able to order (and find) has been SP GF-6 rated.

I’m thinking there was something wrong with that 2013 test so I’m taking a bullet for the team and having it tested again, this time by Metro Tech up here in Canada. The vis is supposed to be 13.7.
Probably nothing wrong with the 2013 test, it's just that the 2013 was Pennzoil Ultra . While the oil you have is Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Shell didn't introduce their GTL ("PurePlus") formulations until 2014
Here is the new VOA for the SN version of Pennzoil Platinum Ultra 0w40.I mailed it on Tuesday, the tech phoned me Wednesday and it arrived by Email today. Awesome service. Metro Tech has excellent street Cred and does work for oil companies, aviation companies as well motor oil companies. Enjoy.

Vanadium right where you'd expect.
Fresh out of the oven.
The vis meets their posted spec and their calcium is way down low.
Thanks again. If the price keeps going up, and it will, I guess I’ll have to weld my drain plug in and vacuum it out of the top. They’re stealing gas around here already and drilling holes in the bottom of tanks that have locking caps.
Looks like both the Ultra 5w30 and the Ultra 0w40 have 753 and 677 ppm magnesium respectively where there was wasn’t much in 2013. Moly remains pretty much unchanged at around 200 ppm.
That's because the 2013 formula probably wasn't LSPI friendly and used much more calcium.
Probably using a standard dexos1 additive package across the non-Euro PCMO lineup. The newest bottles are SP and would have to be LSPI friendly.
Look at that nickel!
And the barium, hoowee!!!!

Yes, the only place I have found it north of the border is Napa Canada and the Dodge dealer. (Someone chime in if they found it elsewhere.) Just to update, though, the new sample shows a 14.0 cSt viscosity. Actually the 0w40 can soon be had in SP, ( and technically a 0w40 won’t have a GF-6 designation, pointed out previously by Overkill). Napa needs to run through their old stock of SN. Regarding the Embryo stems cells, I like that. How about Phfizer Embryo Stem Cells. For the naysayers, this is what the oil is for. Maybe a person can put it in all their 807 Hp engines.
