"youdontwannaknow" got me curious after he ran a Honda Z1 VOA. I sent this in within a week after he posted to try to get a test on a consistent basis (relative) from Blackstone.
I was actually surprised, a lot of phophorus. TAN was approximately where they said it would be, I wonder if Group V contributes to that. I had always thought TAN should start close to zero and tossed when it got near 1.0. I guess for thoses that are paranoid of Dealers checking ATF ("tracers") for warranty work, you wont like this. A simple test like this shows Phosphorus.
I thought most magnesium salts used in oils were abrasive, so I'm glad to see it go. Again as always, with this test we have no way of knowing what else is in there that might be specific only to Z1.
