Any RECENT VOAs of M1 5W-50 WITH starting TBN??

Does anyone know the starting TBN of this oil, and are there any newer than 3 year old VOAs of this??

I don't think so I think the lost up to date ones are 2011

Thanks as well, but yes, I've seen those, and that's why I was asking for more recent ones, since XOM tends to change things, sometimes more often than that time frame.

Just FYI, but if you're looking for a 5w-50 oil, Castrol Edge has a pretty beefy add pack with a starting TBN of 12.5...

Thanks again, but I was looking for some specs because I wanted to add just ONE quart to my current mix (after quickly draining a quart out) to thicken it up a little (for the warmer weather, until I do a full change later in the spring/early summer), get rid of some fuel dilution, and add back some TBN and depleted add pack elements.
The M1 was on sale at NAPA, so that's what I went with.

I AM trying to convince my brother to put either this, or the Castrol 5W-50, into his '99 Boxster IF he ever does another oil change on that poor, abused thing (LONG story).
