O'Reilly 0W-20 Full Synthetic Virgin Oil Analysis
From Blackstone Labs:
Quote:
This is the virgin sample of O'Reilly Synthetic 0W/20 you sent, and it looks pretty good to us. As with most
oil, the main additive is calcium, a detergent/dispersant, followed by phosphorus and zinc (ZDDP), which are anti-wear
additives. Sodium is important to note, because if we see it in a used oil, we might think that it shows antifreeze if we
didn't know that it's an additive in this type of oil. There was just a trace of insolubles and some other elements, but the
viscosity looks good and there were no contaminants, so this oil looks to be in good shape!
