VOA Eneos Racing Street 0w-50

VOA for a less common oil.

to BITOG! Those P and Zn numbers are pretty different from what they list on their website (700 and 900 ppm, respectively). Wonder what accounts for that discrepancy. If the Ca level really is that moderate, I'd take that as a very good sign for an oil like this. Less detergent to compete with the anti-wear chemistry. Wouldn't draw a conclusion without knowing why the P and Zn numbers differ from spec, though.

Thank you for the welcome! I am not sure why it's off but its appeal was that it is API SN approved. I have a Focus RS and couldn't find many 0/5w-50 VOAs so figured it would be interesting to check and run in my car. Next on the list is Ravenol RRS 5w-50.

Pretty sure the phosphorus limits in API SN only apply to xW-30 and xW-20 viscosity grades.

Napa by me has halfa case of this stuff on close out for almost 2 years. $20 a liter or something. What OEM specs an 0w50?

What specs does it carry? Most manufacturers specify a specification or approval, not a grade.
