The TBN sounds low for a virgin high quality synthetic oil.

It's low SAPS so that's okay.

Thanks for the VOA. The Shell TDS dated Feb 2012 shows the flashpoint as 420 degrees. We all know how often Shell updates their TDS. Maybe the new GTL basestock is the reason for the bump?

Old thread, but this oil is becoming more popular. One factor to keep in mind, the engines that require this oil use ULSD at 15PPM sulphur, and thus don't need the TBN that was required with 500+ ppm sulfur diesel fuel.

TBN numbers of 6-7 will become more common place.
