What about the 0w30 any info on that?

 

[SHAMUS]

Sorry, I only asked Dave about these two.

 

[StevieC]

No worries... Appreciate you getting back to me.

If I get the answer I will let y'all know...

Virtually the same zinc and phosphorus, but zero moly in the 40 weight?

Anyone know why?

Because 5w30 is a bit of a sorry grade, even for POE and requires something extra to make it perform on par with a 40 in EP situations?

j/k Honestly, the POE 40 probably really doesnt need it.
