Looks stronger than the Motorcraft blend posted in a nearby thread inside this room.

Looks pretty good...perhaps this oil has the most robust add pack for quart???

Well they certainly like to use boron and MO.

Calcium is pretty hefty too. and this Sb 226


are they pouring the additives by hand? I think someone had to trip at the blending plant.

 

[Bobert]

Good looking oil. I wonder if the Pennzoil Synthetic Blend is the same oil?

 

[Blue99]

Thanks for posting this Quaker State VOA!

Antimony, Sb, is listed at 226ppm.

What lab ran this analysis?

 

[Slick17601]

Thanks for posting this! Looks like a great product.

Is this the lone product in QS's line up where Slick50 is added??

 

[Triple_Se7en]

In this report "sb" is listed at 226. What is it?

 

[The Critic]

Sb=Antimony

It appears to me that perhaps Butler did the test, since they are now testing for Antimony.

That is the MSDS, I read that as half group 1 and half group 3, which is no big deal. Does anybody who actually knows how to read an MSDS see something different?

 

[Basser]

Analysis by Knapp Chevrolet, Houston Texas.

MSDS to your link is from 2002. Outdated. New MSDS should be available for the SM formulation.

Oil is now in vehicle. 2004 Chevrolet Colorado 4X4, 4cyl. Will post a UOA. Friend at dealership runs analysis for me after hours.

 

[Slick17601]

I think the Slick 50 is in the High Mileage.

Antimony
replaces zinc and has same function.

How much does this oil cost ??

 

[Slick17601]

I believe it is $2.52 at Walmart.

 

[jason07-1zzfe]

Does it come in any other visc? Too bad quakerstate doesn't post the HTHS or noack or MRV numbers. Seems like it has potential.

 

[VelociRacer]

Could this be the datasheet? Not the best flashpoint and NOACK numbers out there.

 

[jason07-1zzfe]

Ah...thanks velociracer. The one I found must have been old. Yeah not the best but the HTHS On the 10w40 isn't bad. I may try that next in my BMW, for $2.50 can't beat it with a stick. BUT it only says SL for the 10w40. Wonder if they updated the additives anyway to be same as this 5w30? Is Butler still doing the free UOA if you send a bottle?
The other HTHS I should have expected. Typical of an API oil. Not much variances to be found.

5W-20, 10w30, 10W-40 and 15w40
