Virgin sample of Castrol Syntec 0w30, analyzed by Polaris Labs.
Elemental Analysis, ppm:
Iron, 1
Silicon, 2
Sodium, 2
Magnesium, 512
Calcium, 1899
Phosphorous, 920
Zinc, 1023
KV100 = 11.7
TBN = 9.64
Oxidation = 5
Nitration = 6
This replaced PU in my Camaro when I changed oil a couple of weeks ago. I noticed a step change in oil pressure from 38 to 50 psi at 1700 rpm cruise with GC. The piston slap at idle when warmed up seems louder than with PU.
