PENTOSIN PENTOSPEED 0W-30

[srl1104]

EQUIPMENT MAKE: Virgin
EQUIPMENT MODEL: 0W/30
FUEL TYPE: Not Applicable
OIL USE INTERVAL: 0
OIL TYPE & GRADE: Pentosin Pentospeed 0W/30

SHANE: Nothing too unusual showed up in this sample of virgin oil. The viscosity read normally for a
0W/30 and the trace wear metals are an increasingly common find in virgin oils. They may be from the
tanker or pipeline and aren't a problem. The TBN was very strong at 11.2 so this oil starts out with
plenty of active additive. Calcium and magnesium are detergent dispersants. Phosphorus and zinc
are anti-wear additives. This oil should work well for your engine(s).

What engine were are we going to use this in?

Interesting, the measured flashpoint is 30*F lower than Pentosin says.
And the viscosity is a touch thicker?

01 BMW 325i (M54). I am currently running this oil. I will sample at 3000 miles and post a UOA.

It looks pretty similar to GC Gold, at least as far as the additives and viscosity goes.

On a track day at Willow there were a lot of heavly modifed BMW's using this exact oil.
