How do you even know what the "additive amounts" are? Do you know what is in a spectrographic analysis? It is a record of (some of) the metallic elements in decomposed compounds only, not a record of additives. And besides it is the license, specification or approval that guarantees performance, not a few metallic atoms that might show up in a VOA.I am not a victim and why do other oils have higher additive amounts? How does pointing out that additives have been lowered mean a person doesn't understand something? If this is the new trend then why have the majors not done this long before WH? You seem to be one of those that have little to contribute to a discussion so you insult. If you don't have anything constructive to say, don't comment. If you don't like the thread, don't comment. You are not being asked to participate. There are times when a search doesn't tell you that much and I haven't seen anyone discussing ST having there additives being reduced. While there may be some things that we don't know in its makeup I think it would be safe to say that if they had some special blend that the majors would have been doing it long before WH.
This thread is a good illustration of the silliness that surrounds reading the tea leaves of a UOA or VOA and trying to ascertain future performance.
