Lubro Moly VOA

[ssj4]

this was done by someone else (link at the bottom)

From a 2003 Virgin Oil Analysis:

"VOA for Lubro-Moly 0w40 just arrived. This is NOS SJ oil, full PAO synthetic. Analysis by Schaeffer labs. thought I'd share it for anyone who's interested.

Copper 1
Iron 3
Chromium 0
Aluminum 2
Lead 1
Moly 1
Phosphorus 1638
Zinc 1532
Magnesium 860
Calcium 3100
A-freeze .0%
Fuel dilution none
H2O .0%
Silicon 5(my guess is antifoam)
Viscosity cst 13.09
SAE 40
Sulfur, oxidation, & Nitration; all 0

Boron, TBN, Sodium: not tested

Looks to me like the trace wear metals are all within normal lab glitches/manufacture contamination.

There's an oil nut nursery rhyme in here somewhere:"Lubro Moly had no moly..." "

Thanks man. Looks like a strong additive package.

I might go to LubroMoly if my Mobil 1 UOAs aren't satisfactory.

You'll be switching to Lubromoly...

less wear than GC green
oddly, the OCI with the most additives did the worst

 

[ssj4]

Actually,

the OCI with the most additives did the best (of the three GC UOA's). Keep in mind that the first UOA was done immediately following an ARX rinse phase, so if ARX did it's job it should have loosed up some stuff which one would think contain higher concentrations of wear metals)

 

[gtx510]

But that 4th OCI had the highest iron wear? Al, Cu, Pb, etc. seem pretty steady.

your reading it backwards. The 1st UOA starts on the right (14ppm fe)
