I ran this oil in my Jeep GC (diesel) to 10,000 miles on the factory fill. I have some from AZ clearance that I'll run in a gas engine for 5k without worry.
The oil is perfectly serviceable for your application. Yes, it's not a high TBN A3/B4, but we already knew that. With reference to this thread and your other thread, we really have to remember what we saw with the SM/GF-4 rollout. There were a lot of TBN reductions at that point, too, and the sky didn't fall. At your OCIs, you'll be just fine.
Just watch pricing. There are other low phosphorus 5w-30 examples with SN and an HTHS of 3.5 or greater. Of course, pricing is all over the map depending upon where one is on the geographical map.

Thanks for sharing the VOA. Stocked up on a lot of this at the AZ clearance. The "heavy" 30 weight does mimic GC...
Looks like any 5W30 C3 oil. Good TBN, good cst.
It is primarily made for diesel applications and gasoline application in markets with ULSG (NOT U.S. market).

Did anybody notice the VI of this VOA is nearly 186? That's way higher than the TDS, and from a quick search on the 'net, the highest 5W-30 I found.
Hope I’m not high jacking this thread, but have a quick question with a recent oil change. I think the OP is using this in his G37 v-6 gas engine correct? I ask because when I saw Euro I thought this would be a good oil to try in my GM 2.9L gas engine, but later realized “L” and Dexos2 indicates diesel applications (brainfart I know). Am I ok for a short 3-5k run without converter or O2 issues? Thanks, Alfred
