This is the 7000 series synthetic blend. IIRC, in the past the amount of POA was 20-25% with the remainder Group II+ and additive package. I recently viewed the MSDS on their website, and the information there is now much broader as to the percentages of basestocks. And I understand that Antimony doesn't show up on this test, which is also part of Schaeffer's add pack.

Thank you for posting the VOA, it benifits us all.

For the effort and expense for me, I'll stick with Ultra.

6.9 TBN? pretty weak!

Good AW additives with Moly and Antimony though.

I think it looks pretty good..

Interesting, wonder where the contaminants came from? Either way I would use this oil in a heartbeat. Thank you for sharing the VOA!

Wow, it doesn't get any thinner than that for a 30wt!

Interesting that they have gone to a lowered Ca, higher Na detergent system. Seems to be a common trend in SN-spec oils.
