Pennzoil Euro 0W-40 SN NOACK is 10.0%; so, it's not better than the M1 and it could actually be worse.
PUE 5w-40 is GTL-based. Its Noack is 6.8%.
Hi Quattro Pete,
Why is there a belief that the M1 0W-40 SN is predominantly VISOM (Group III+)?
Do you know the CCS for the M1 0W-40 SN? If you look at the chart above, it's impossible to achieve 8.8% NOACK for the 0W- CCS range with a Group III base stock.
I found the presentation and answered my question. Mobil 1 0W-40 SN is indeed a mixture of their exclusive Visom Group III+ base stocks and some Group V ester. This is interesting. It's good to know.
