Toyota 0W-20 SP VOA

[josephp732]

Just setting a place holder as I just sent in a sample of Toyota's newest 0W-20 API SP blend. I will post results soon.
It will be interesting to see if there are any differences compared to the 0W-20 API SN+ blend I sent it - those results are in this thread - post #80:

PQIA Toyota 0w20 results are something!!

That's actually a really impressive additive pack. Never seen moly that high.

Here is the lab report on the Toyota 0W-20 SP sample.

Comparing to the SN+ Sample: Moly stayed the same, Zinc is slightly down, Boron is up, Calcium is up, Magnesium is down, Phosphorus is up,
Viscosities are close and the flash point is up by 5 degrees. Biggest surprise is the TBN dropped from 9.6 to 6.8 - that seems like a big drop.

Looks very, very good.

The TBN maybe tested in a different ASTM test therefore the lower TBN result here.

What bbhero says explains the difference in TBN.

PQIA uses D2896 method, which is better for virgin analysis, but gives higher virgin values than D4739 method, which Blackstone uses. D4739 is better for UOA and better for VOA if you will also be doing a UOA of the same sample after use.

Here's some reference:

I use Polaris Labs for my TBN and is included with the standard price for testing.

Noack of the SP Toyota 0w20 is now 13.3%.

Are they selling the 'SP' formula at the dealerships now? Online the older formula is all that I see.

Yes I've been buying SP rated TGMO from the dealership for at least 6 months already.

Same. Makes me wonder if that's an error. Their 5W-30 has about 1/10 that amount...how can that be?

That is organic moly. That’s why there is a lot. Tri nuclear moly is more effective with lower ppm.
