Indeed. Seems much higher than many of the other RLI VOA's I've seen if I'm remembering correctly.

for some reason I thought i remember copper being in the 300-500 range on a previous UOA

VOA from UG_Passat (Dyson, Blackstone, and Oil Analyzers Inc.)

His VOA are from batch 10320-100408. So the oil that i tested was made about 2 months after his. (Last set of numbers is the date)

The Dyson showed 300 ppm of Copper, the blackstone one showed around the same that i have in this batch

Is this the HD formula, or PCMO?

 

[agpatel]

This is the RLI Bio-Syn HD SHP 5w40.

Not a very clean oil - iron, lead, silicon, and sodium in it. Amounts are too small, I'd think, to be adds. Pretty thin for a HD 40-weight - I'd expect something closer to 15 cst.....

Silicon can be used as a anti-foaming agent in oil and lead can also be used as a additive in low levels. Also the viscosity is correct for the application it was crated for which was for the Audi engine, this is being used in a VW 2.0T FSI motor and the mid SAE 40 weight is correct for the application.
