That is hard to read...is that TBN 6.3 or 8.3?

6

Great Sampling test! Thanks for sending it off. Now as you've seen we get to kick the tires a bit on it. Seems like it's a solid run of the mill synthetic.

Very traditional-looking additive package. I like it. Thank you for paying for the VOA and sharing it with us.

6.3

 

[ford250]

@ford250 I'm confused by your reply. You quoted me, but didn't add anything yourself to the reply.

I've seen people do this before, but never understood the significance.

Fat fingers
Didn’t mean to

Yeah
Now sure about the 20K mile rating though
I’d never run it that long

TBN 6.3

Thanks for sharing, still think QSFS is a great bang for the buck. For peace of mind -- I stick to 5000 mile OCIs.

 

[Ronin73]

I think this is a good, cheap 10,000 mile OCI oil for sure.

Thanks for posting this - Just threw some in the Malibu this weekend!

Got the sample back. Looks good for $23 bucks

Don't know why you spent money on a VOA, as it doesn't show much.
MANY parts of a modern DP/AW are not seen in this analysis as they are ashless.

The best stuff I have run recently have been QS FS 10W30 and Valvoline Advanced 5W30.

I have a jug of QS FS 10W30 on deck for my Ford. Hope to give it a drain and a drink this week!

You da man...lol

 

[Davejam]

How does this sample compare to valvoline’s new extended protection?
I know this sample is 0w-20 but the additives appear to be the same for the 5w-30

Valvoline has higher Moly, which is interesting. But it is priced higher typically...
So, if price was equal I would personally choose Valvoline EP. But since its not I have been going with QS.

So yeah, it's the same, exact oil, as QSFS. I'm not surprised in the least, as this is a SOPUS product...

QSFS API SP:

QSUP:

So, not the exact same, but similar, of course.

If you account for the fact that different labs tested the samples, that Blackstone doesn't provide the most accurate results, and margin of error... then yes, they're the same.
