Sample dated 3/25/2018 is VOA of Motul Eco-Lite 0w-20. The two earlier tests were from TGMO. What do you think?

Looks serviceable to me, but that starting TBN is a bit low (not "strong" as Blackstone words it), for what it's worth.
Thanks for posting.
Why is there 438 ppm of sodium?

It's like Valvoline synthetics were up until about a year ago, and Royal Purple and some Ravenol oils too. Kind of common really. I think some sodium compounds are anti-wear, anti-ox, detergent, extreme pressure, all to some extent, possibly mult-function, formulator's choice to use them. Sodium is going out of style due to LSPI concerns these days though. Should never use sodium+calcium really, to keep LSPI at bay.

Is this eco lite SM or SN version?
