Gang,
For those that partook of the OR and AZ specials, here is a VOA of 5W-20 SN with a particle test. Blackstone will send me the complete delineation of size/number of particles via snail mail (not sure why they cannot scan it to PDF or the like) and once received, I will post those numbers here too. I have attached an ISO chart of where the particle test results stand in relation to the scale.
Blackstone commented they were not sure what the titanium is used for in the oil, but based upon other oils that use titanium, I will assume it is an anti-wear agent. Not about relevancy, but the cSt and Flash Point numbers had some variations between the Mobil specifications and the Blackstone results, shown below:
cSt at 100°C:
-- 8.4 (Mobil)
-- 7.48 (Blackstone)
Flash Point°F:
-- 446 (Mobil)
-- 415 (Blackstone)
I plan to start running this in all of my vehicles and provided it has similar results to the other oils, I will continue.
Thoughts and comments welcome!
