This oil came out of a 5 quart jug with a February 25, 2016 bottling date. It went into my Taurus recently and is my fourth consecutive time using this oil (QSGB/QSAD). When I get the results for my UOA of the oil I recently drained, I suspect it will show the same additive package as this. Not too impressive to look at but...
While I still like this oil, it is clearly different from my first two oci's of use. Instead of my engine being silent from inside the car (windows up), it is now audible until the oil gets warmed. It becomes fairly quiet after 12-15 miles of driving. There's never "noise" or clatter, just the hum of a V6 engine going about it's business. I suppose that's a good case of the add-pack getting activated.
Please understand that when I say my engine is silent/fairly quiet from inside the car, I'm speaking of low rpm and light/medium load. Typically, it's operated under 1,500 rpm with steep hills requiring as much as 2,200 rpm.
