Thanks for testing this oil. Somewhat hard to find.

Looks pretty typical for a 504 approved oil. Thanks for posting!

Thanks

Thanks. This looks like a common additive system that many oils are currently using. Must be using a different friction modifier too.

Added to the VOA Database. Weird that is has 5ppm Titanium. It's usually 15-20ppm or nothing. Really nice approvals, but BN is lower than expected.

Im currently running it in my 22 WRX. May get back to VRP 5W30 depending how my UOA comes back.

With the approvals on this oil, what do you see that would make you NOT wanna use it?

Nothing. I've used it and would have no reservations in the future since there is still some in my stash. Currently on an M1 ESP kick.

Wouldn't it be cool if Valvoline used this as their base oil for Restore and Protect? I'm not even sure that is possible, but it would be nice to have a R&P that has so many approvals.

They're using GTL now in VRP.
