Is there something in the posted analysis that would indicate that? Why is the Ca so low and Mg so high? Is this a good or bad thing?
Like I said, I don't see anything in there that would indicate what the base is. And I mean that in the sense that I am ignorant; not that I am disagreeing w/ anyone. Please explain how you see this or how and what gives an indication as to what the base is; in this case the ester/PAO.
What's an "IR profile"? How does that pertain to base oils? What's an "aniline point"?quote:

other than CA (lower) and Mg (higher) both gold and green had same IR profile which to me means no base oil change also I did a Aniline point for the heck of it and that also came out the same so for me no change in base oil.

I've got a sample of the Gold, with a little over 5,000 miles on it. From a Volkswagen VR6 with 280,000+ miles on the engine - just waiting for the blackstone test kitquote:
