4.6 oil analysis-trend
Here is a major oil companies 10/30 synthetic. I post this to show the benefits of a PAO/Ester based formulation without a bunch of additives like moly to help out the conventional oils shortcomings.
And NO :G it's not Amsoil ! he he!
4.6 Crown Victoria - 7900 miles w/15% city driving ambient temps over 100 f - Motorcraft filter
wear metals
Iron 5
Lead 1
copper 11
silicone 5- dirt and antifoam
all other metals were trace elements only
Additives
Boron 18
Magnesium 64
Zinc 894
Phos 884
Calcium 2294
VI @ 100c 10.9 " thickened .4 from new"
Oxidation 24
Fuel .05
TBN 7 still had alot of life
Another oil right after this run
10/30 Synthetic blend- 100% hiway with 70f ambient
miles were put on in less than two weeks -all 3600 of them
Motorcraft filter
Iron 13
Copper 3
Aluminum 2
Chromium 1
Silicone 10
additives
Moly 93- probably started w/ 150 ppm or so
Magnesium 45
Zinc 911
Phos 774
Calcium 1960
Oxidation 37 ! Ugly
Fuel .05
TBN 3- uglier !
Same Lab
This is IMO a 3 month-3k oil in normal usage and was 3 bucks a quart !
Now here is what I'm using now at recommendation from a friend.
It is a new 0/30 synthetic available . This sample was drawn @ 5800 miles and is still in service . 25 % city or therabouts mixed driving
Different Lab and the oil is only 4.25 a quart. I will use this in all vehicles now in all probability excepting the old ones
And NO! It's not Amsoil !
Iron 4
Chromium 0
Nickel >1 trace amount
Aluminum 3
Lead 1
Copper 11
Tin >1 trace amount
Silver > 1 trace amount
Titanium >1 trace amount
Silicon 7
Potassium >1 trace amount
Barium >1 trace amount
Molybedenum 3
Boron 248
Magnesium 236
Calcium 3610
Phosphorous 1014
Zinc 1171
Viscosity @ 100C was a stable 10.1
TBN - 10 ! Starting TBN is 17 and is a SL oil-not a Fleet oil either!
Fuel < 1.0
My 1.33 per quart Motorcraft analysis is posted here somewhere for comparison to these oils- it rocks! But not like that 0/30

Of course everyone will be curious about the brands, but I'm wondering if what is really important here, is the fact that these oils were run on 75% to 100% highway miles.
