Looks like a very good motor oil. I like the add pack and I assume it is a XOM product by the looks of the bottle?

 

[chubbs1]

I like the additive package. Thanks for this VOA.

 

[A_Harman]

Surprisingly low on TBN.
Nice looking additive package.

No sodium. Does that mean it isn't some iteration of Mobil Clean/Super?

 

[addyguy]

Interesting how close it looks to Motorcraft. I guess it's a Mobil syn-blend base oil, with whatever add-pack that is, blended in.

Looks like a good oil.

Yep. the bottle surely looks XOM to me. Maybe it is the same add pack bought from the same company like Lubrizol or Infineum and blended, just a different company basestock? Perhaps there is no connection at all but never know.

Well considering XOM owns half of Infineum......

Correct. So that would be my bet on the origin of the add pack

 

[addyguy]

The add-pack here, coincidentally, is very close that in M1 0W-40.

It must work well in high-stress situations.........

 

[cp3]

A little thicker than average as well, isn't it? 11.2...

 

[addyguy]

Dexos-1 oils seem to all be around 11cst. I'm assuming they need to be a bit thicker to deal with turbo/high heat conditions that are part of the equation......

 

[ottotheclown]

Yes Motorcraft and now Honda all blends that look alike except for this weaker TBN. So go with Motorcraft to save$$$$.

GM dealership.

 

[MolaKule]

You would think with all the hype and spec discussion this would have been a full synthetic.

If I were to buy a blend I think the Motorcraft would be my choice.

Why build a better product than you need to?

 

[ltslimjim]

^Some say why settle for less if more could be better? Define "need", right?
