SN/GF-5 SAE 5W-30

I haven't seen this posted, and was curious, so here is a virgin sample of a Group II/III SN/GF-5 that uses the new Lubrizol HyperZDP.
The sodium is a sodium sulfonate detergent. With all that detergency in there I can see how it is designed to fight sludge.

What brand is this?

That 'looks' like a Valvoline product - they tend to use that Ca/Na ratio.

Thank for posting!

Valvoline is also using the Lubrizol additive. Don't know what base oils they use, though.
That is made in Tulsa for American Petroleum Co. Inc. I import it to Bolivia.

My guess would be Valvoline. Or a Valvoline product like NAPA brand.

Don't need to guess. I answered that it is American Petroleum.

Yup, my home town. Maybe I could drive down and pick some up.
