Here it is,
Finning oil lab, Edmonton, Alberta
Virgin sample, Esso XD3 0W40
Running this oil through the winter on my Amsoil BMK-11 bypass with a Donaldson ELF 7349 full flow in my Dodge Cummins. Will be pushing the mileage on the oil (with occasional top ups, and full flow changes to at least twice the OEM mileage (15 000 miles, 24000 km)...wil probably do more, if I can.

I don't imagine many of the higher um numbers are there any more with my filtration setup. I will be running 0W40 all year round from now on, occasionally using CO-OP 0W40 DMO SL (CI4) or even the new Delvac1 ESP 0W40 as well as some UFA Polar Plus I have kicking around...they're all so close due the base stocks reported to being the same or similar (Esso/ExxonMobil).
ZDDP numbers are a little low for my HDEO taste, but if the oil performs, then so what?
Enjoy.
