Traveller 15w40 CJ4 (WPP)

[GLR]

New here, thought I'd share this.

This is Tractor Supply's Traveller 15W40 CJ4, comes in a white jug, stamped WPP on the bottom.

Shouldn't Calcium be higher?

 

[GLR]

I really don't know, some of what I've read states that CJ4 oils are showing lower Calcium levels. Hopefully people will take a look and give their thoughts on this one.

Most HDEO's are replacing a good bit of the calcium with magnesium.

Seems like a perfectly average CJ-4 15W-40 oil.

Nothing spectacular, but nothing bad, either.

Yes, made sure to shake the jug well and then carefully punched a hole in the seal of the one gallon jug, inserted the clear tubing, and used a vacuum pump and sample bottle to pull a sample from as close to the middle of the jug as possible.

Here are the claims made for the oil:

You can compare those numbers with what Blackstone found.

Multiple pieces of farm equipment..tractors, combines, etc. Oil change intervals are minimum once per year on machinery that is seldom used, others are every 250hours or somewhere close to that.

Going to run this for a while but monitor everything closely to look for any potential problems.

A 250hr UOA would be interesting....

Isn't WPP Warren Performance Products? Or basically Walmart Super Tech? Super Tech is good and the Walmart version maybe a little cheaper.
