Looks great.

Visc looks good wear is in control. Don't know how the TBN is doing, but the rest looks pretty darn good. The add pack looks pretty balanced but mediocre is this a PAO blend?

 

[Drew99GT]

The exact same level of metallic additives compared to any other passenger car oil in addition to 300 ppm moly is mediocre?

Yes, this is a group II+/PAO blend - a proven oil capable of long drain intervals.

For premium pricing....yes. Performance talks though so I'm listening.

No.

No what good Sir...I said that I am intrigued by the results your getting. Maybe you folks have some cool ashless additives I'm not spotting here. It's well balanced, but nothing is HUGE in this UOA that's all I meant. Poor word choice I suppose in earlier post.

Nice stuff.

 

[Gary Allan]

Errr...it's now a 30 weight if my spider visc-sense is tingling properly

..but the wear metal read is in the low background noise level. Nothing to see there. Move along ..move along.

Yes ..stretch it out a bit.

I think that the "Penetro" proprietary additive that Schaeffers uses may be the cool ashless additive that you are talking about. IIRC it is some type of ester-containing compound. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Their additive package is one of the things that sets them apart from the field IMO.

Thanks for the extra insight...it obviously performs.
