Well one thing for sure, you can clearly see the additive companies do the bulk of R&D testing.  Granted, the larger guys like XOM and Shell have access internally to all the Infineum work being it's a jointly owned venture.  Gokhan was a good poster. 

 

A few years ago Roy Howell for Red Line was asked about these specifications.  His answer was pretty funny.  He said they make their oils for all engines old and new.  He basically shrugged off the industry specifications and has kept Red Line full SAPS for decades. 

 

You can see Amsoil Signature Series kind of hovers the middle ground somewhere between off the shelf oils and HPL and Red Line.  They lowered the sulfated ash levels of Signature Series to around 1.04.  Mobil 1, and Castrol Edge are now .7 and .8 (mid saps).

 

HPL's PCMO line have HT/HS numbers more in line with fuel economy grades.  Their 5w30's (non Euro) have HT/HS of 3.2.  No VII is a different animal.     

 

 

Shell and ExxonMobil by law have to stay arms length away from Infineum work.  The IP owned by infineum is its own. 
 

Heres a graph of aniline points for solvency. Dow is trying to sell its oil soluble PAG product but it’s a good reference. Confirming Grumpys commentary on the subject.

Give it some thought     You just saw a motor (my post above) with failed pistons/rings at nearly twice this milage on standard OEM OCI's look as good as the photo on the left whi

I'm seeing more reviews of Valvoline Restore & Protect clean extremely well.  I'm curious if the chemistry they're using makes it into other grades.  If this oil does what it is supposed to do, it

Ok, just double checking since you say your brain is busted sometimes. 😆  Wanted to make sure this wasn't some figment of your imagination   3 cases FTMFW!

Not all Red Line HP oils are high SAPS. Look at the Euro line. Mid SAPS and the 5W30 is Porsche C30. 

 

Food for thought.

 

When you build an SAE 30 from a Group II or PAO, what is the HTHS/HTFS viscosity based on? A Newtonian fluid that is also the same viscosity regardless of shear rate and only dependent on temperature. 

 

How about when you build a 5W30 on a Group III/III+ on a 2 to 4 cSt base? HTHS/HTFS is based on the POLYMER which dies under shear. Especially above the HTHS shear rate.

I have good reason to believe AMSOIL is using OSP in its formulations to get that solvency, all of them, low dose but effective.

How about the Evolve Estolides? Does their 5W30 C3 oil have any solvency? I've seen information in both directions.

Interesting.  I know their virgin oxidation value is around 62 for SS, indicating the presence of a good dose of group V.  I wonder if it's OSP that's causing that?  Maybe both?

I'm not sure how they are doing it.  Probably various estolide formulations that are made to be aniline.

You won't see OSP at all in traditional testing. Hidden chemistry like many.  However KF can reveal prescence of the additive if water is isolated out.

I believe there was 48,000 mile 2.7 V6 Chrysler that ran a  PAG ( water soluble) formula very like the 1940's-50's Union Carbide formulations that contained 0.1% or less of Sulf ASH, NO VI, that ran one oil change to 100,000 with no issues but some corrosion from lack of specific additives geared to the modern engines. OSP solves all those issues but its $$$$.

Are we getting the point yet?

The above is what happens in a modern multigrade oil. HOWEVER in a No-VII oil or conventional straight weight the viscosity represented by the HTLS is the same as the HTHS and HTFS and HTUS. The trade is low temperature performance over a mineral single grade but not necessarily a naturally high VI based narrow range multigrade. Bottom line is temperature is the only modifier for a No-VII/Mineral single weight. HUGE viscosity thus WEAR advantage.

Not sure what you mean. You want some of it graphed or you want Cliff Notes of the PDF? :dunno:

Whatever you want to do. I’ll just keep providing raw data as I find it.

On the Russian Oil Club site, their UOA results generally show TBN, TAN and pH.  

 

Here are two where you can see Red Line goes acidic.  It's said due to the high POE.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
