Virgin Mazda 0w-20 w/moly Idemitsu SN

[CATERHAM]

A VOA of the Cdn Mazda oil would definitively answer the question. I'm actually more curious about the current Honda/Acura 0W-20 that is made by Idemitsu. It's been a while since we've had a VOA/UOA on their oil and their bottle labeling has changed. A VOA is about the only way to find out if it's the same oil as the high VI, high moly Mazda USA 0W-20. Problem is, at $8.35/L it's quite a bit more expensive than TGMO so even if it was the same oil I'd still probably favour TGMO.

I purchased one liter of the Honda 0w20 ISLAC GF-5 HGMO, Ultra Low Viscosity. I will get a VOA in 8 days. I dont know how long the turn around will be. Mitsu sold me One liter of Kendall GT-1 Full Syn with liquid Titanium, I will be getting a VOA of that in a couple weeks.

Except if your Honda 0W-20 bottle is the same as what my local dealer has it says "exceeds the requirements of SL/SM and GF-5" but doesn't have the API starburst. Anyway a VOA would be very interesting; make sure to request the KV40 test as well.

So your Mitsu dealer is selling Kendall 0W-20 and not a Mitsu branded 0W-20?

Ok and Yes, strange or what.

Yes, bump for an answer, as IF it was ever stated anywhere, I forgot what it was!

See Post #2828378 on page 3. It claims TBN is 8.9.

Thanks! Not as high as the Sustina 0W-20 (at ~ 12.2), but still not bad.
