Yes both. I consulted for the company 20 years ago and helped them develop a 5w40 low ash racing oil for Audi Racing who had to run DPF’s for their world sports cars ( CANAM ). That oil has become a mainstay of lubricants for gasoline and diesel engines for a long time. 

 

I don't see this LA 5W40 oil on their site. No longer offered?

It would be the 5w40 HD BioSynxtra now. All the HD multigrades are below 1% ash I think.

OUCH! :sigh: $22.91 a quart. 

 

Does the 3.0 HTHS meet then newest SAE J300?

That’s a typo RLI usually doesn’t report the actual value. Just that it exceeds J300 min.

If one purchases this product buy in at least gallons or larger to cut price.

That exact 5w40 HD low ash formula solved issues with many different HP engines. BMW 3.0 twin turbo, Subaru turbo 4 boxer engines, Audi 4.2 V8 NA high performance carbon maker, turbo 2.0 L VW GTI carbon maker, Ford 6.0 turbo diesel POS and there’s more. 
Wonder if this would resist that 2.4 issues?

FYI some of RLI is available on Amazon, which at least gets you free shipping.  It's been a while but at least that is what I found when I tried it a long time ago.

I’ve been digging into old data bases from my testing. 
these are PCMO formulas. I’ll find my independent testing of the 5w40 HD low ash. The original formula that was about 1.4% ash contained copper sulfonate and antimony. We dropped copper sulf. But it was a dream additive with HOBS

RLI 5w40 HD older formula from late 2000's  Note less NOACK stability but that HTHS is better or same as this on newer version.

    • Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

    • Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
