PQIA: Traveller 5W20 Syn: 6.5% Noack, 240ppm Moly

[wemay]

For the Bitoger that places Noack and Moly numbers high on their list of importance.

240ppm and noack is nice but I have a feeling it'll be removed in the future out of the blue.

Traveller oils used to be made by Warren Performance Products (WPP) but I'm not sure if that's still the case....that's a nice looking 5w20.

I agree. It doesn't remind me of any Warren Distribution, Amalie or Warren Oil Co. product. Almost looks like an SP Valvoline oil, but the Boron is low.

Last I known it was made by Martin Lubricants, here's a datasheet for their Syngard PCMO

That NOACK is almost too low to be believed, for a house brand oil. Especially a 5W20! Lots of moly too, this would be a good as any of the majors if the numbers are correct.

I have seen newer Traveller motor oils and it seems quite possible the oil is being made by Smitty's Supply...

That 5 qt container is a dead on match for Super S 5 qt container. And... The Cam2 5 qt container too.

Here's a Cam2 5 qt container.

8.7CSt and and 407ppm of Magnesium PQIA got seems within margin of error when compared to Smitty's SuperSyn 5W-20

Yeah man... That "new" Traveller motor oil at TS seems very likely to be made by Smitty's Supply. And on their website they say it is new.

They only provide one SDS for all grades, but looks like they have a good slug of PAO in there, the CAS for the petroleum distillates may be for hydro isomerized base oils.

Confirmed today the new Traveller motor oil is made by Smitty's Supply. Small 1 qt container has SSI under the bottom of the container and the 5 qt containers had that marking too.

Now…. would this apply to both Traveller “Conventional” and Full Synthetic motor oil products? Their “Conventional” is SP/GF-6 rated and $11.99 everyday price for a 5 qt jug.

This is a jug of the 10W-30 I bought for changing oil in lawn mowers, etc.
