Well yeah, it’s ValvolineLakespeed found that NAPA full synthetic had a healthy dose of molybdenum

Nice they didn’t cheap out formulating it for NAPAWell yeah, it’s Valvoline
Try using the search function.Are you the same poster that was enthralled with the magical Toyota oil before?
Was it SP?I was interested in running this in my new Honda Pilot for first oil change soon around 3k miles.
We know we've seen the results of it being tested and returning near 800ppm Moly.
Project Farm's OEM oil test earlier this year showed it's results from Blackstone at only ~65 Moly.
Anybody know what the deal is here??
USA oe Toyota or overseas?Also, food for thought:
Not all Toyota OEM product is made by Mobil anymore… so different blenders, different formulas…
USA oe Toyota or overseas?
Some bottle/jugs look like total or idemitsu maybe even eneos

Only one way to know - test.Doesn't too much moly cause deposit formation?
Although it may or may not be printed on the container, per the API EOLCS Directory it does appear to have an API SP license. API SP is improved a bit in deposit and sludge formation over API SN. It should be good in that regard. Perhaps this is related to the type and amount of the molybdenum compound being used, I do not know. But either way there should not be a problem with this particular oil.Only one way to know - test.
IIIH, TEOST.
Testing allows you to see the synergy or lack of between all the components in a formulation.
It's probably good "enough" but the goal posts are always moving with each subsequent new spec trying to get deposit formation lower. To my surprise it didn't change much for GF-7, but then again GF-7 isn't a high bar to pass. For the consumer there is really nothing else to go by other than specifications met.Although it may or may not be printed on the container, per the API EOLCS Directory it does appear to have an API SP license.

HPL uses a blend of moly types with the goal being the best AW and FM performance with price not being a factor.
Define failure?Let’s take a poll how many members had engine oil related failures by using store shelf oil
That a distraction technique to divert from an otherwise technical discussion.Define failure?
Some serious beefiness in additives. Even lots of Boron.Was it SP?
This is as of 11/24 per ROC
I think I also saw another recent SP VOA and the Noack was 13%.

Indeed. I had a feeling…That a distraction technique to divert from an otherwise technical discussion.
… lane 2 was caught with a hidden heater and disqualified the oilThe real question is how’d it do in the cold oil slide race.
