OK? It looks great! Huge calcium, 200 ppm more phosphorus then GF-4, monster TBN, big boron. And it's not super duper thick. This is the universal, most widely available oil that's perfect for all European vehicles.

Yeah I agree. All things considered, you won't find a much better 0w oil.

As I recall GC's viscosity at 100 is in the...mid 12s?

And we have seen from UOAs that this 0W40 quickly shears to a 30wt so maybe in an engine this M1 acts much like super duper thick GC?
 
Hi,
21Rouge - You said this:

This may be so but in many applications this lubricant has a very stabil viscosity over very long OCI

The M1 HM 10w-30 has density of .87 v, .85 and a lower 100deg C viscosity but the same HTHS above 3.5cSt. And a -65F pour point. And higher zddp. So it should provide more power and fuel mileage and maybe more protection than this oil. I do like the high boron # though ...

You talking the HM 10w-30?

With all the glowing talk the last several months (and more) re this oil I think that is what many are considering.
