What Oil weight do you run?

[Hershey]

looked up MSDS for UNITED STATES for SHELL Full Synthetic 5w-30 . States : Distilliates ( petroleum ) , hydrotreated light paraffinic : 64742-55-8 , if looking correctly . Printed : 7/14/2008 .

some CAS# involving motor oil (Thanks MGB-V8!)
Mineral Paraffininc Base Oil - 64742-54-7; VI of +94 to 120, any group.

Mineral Naphthenic Base Oil - 64741-96-4; VI of -15, any group.

Mineral Aromatic Base Oil - 64742-03-7; VI of -185, any group.

Hydrotreated paraffininc, heavy - 64742-52-5
Hydrotreated paraffinic, light - 64742-53-6

PAO's: 68649-12-7, 68037-01-4, 163149-29-9, 151006-63-2, 151006-62-1, 151006-60-9. VII's of +155 or greater.

Diester - 28472-97-1; VII's average +170.

VII Copolymers - 127883-08-3


Additives:
ZDDP Type Adds: 68649-42-3, XXXXX-46-6.

Calcium Sulfonates: 61789-86-4

Moly Dithiophosphate - 68958-92-7 or 68958-92-9

Moly Disulfide Powders - 1317-33-5


M1 Supersyn Antiwear Technology
This is a Polyol TME

Polyol esters have lower coefficients of friction than either diesters or PAO's.

By adding a polyol ester at least 5-10% to a PAO or mineral oil reduces base oil friction remarkably. So esters are natural Friction Modifiers.

Thanks.
Uhhh, yeah...huh?
Can't tell if that means it's good oil or not.

Would you mind posting your analysis data? I would be very interested in seeing it if your willing!

TIA,

Its got similar hydrotreated dino base stock to Platinum or Syntec or Synpower - but it aint 70%/ PAO 15% POE /10% AN that I would prefer to see in a real syn ( from ANYONE). For stout oil hard to beat RL or M1R4T. Doest really matter unless you are out to beat the tar out of the po lil enJINE on a daily basis. Hey I got snowblower oil in mine - hows that for oil boredom

Thanks. I'm curious to see how the Wolf's Head 5w30 does against the M1 0w30 Goliath when I get the UOAs done on both.

Next time you get bored you could give the Brad Penn "green" Racing Oil a try. Brad Penn appears to offer a pretty good line-up of oils.

can't wait to see the U.O.A.s . Thanks and good luck with the numbers .

Pretty for sure there won't be a UOA on the M1 0W30 that I'm running now because the Yaris might already be sold; the guy is still thinking about it. If it sells I'll probably get a '08 xD that I've got my eye on...probably won't mess with sending in oil samples for the xD.

I use 20W50 semi synthetic.
What do I get by switching to 5Wanything?

This is a real hot country with summer temps at 45 Deg. C. Plus starting May on.
