My understanding is that this is a compliance check; (i.e. what is written on the label is in the bottle) not a contest to show what is better; edit i now understand.

5 brands I have never seen
Thanks for including Blain's oil in your test. I see it used frequently in ag and construction equipment locally. Any plans to test Blain's 5w-40 synthetic blend diesel oil?
Wonder how long it will take before Pennzoil Gold is ever tested?
All of this regional, store brand stuff gets tested, but an offering from Pennzoil is overlooked for years.
I'm not sure if anyone at PQIA even knows that Gold exists...

It is good to see Petro Canada has joined their list of supporters!

Looking forward to seeing how their Duron does in tests.

How many of these off brand oils are made by Warren?

Well, it is "Super" heavy duty.

Traveller seems lacking in Ca as far as diesel oils are concerned although I have the same opinion about Delvac too. Just surprises me since Tractor Supply sells a ton of it.
As far as conventionals are concerned, I'd go Rotella all the way followed by Delo.

I think the days of high Ca HDEOs, particularly from the majors with ACEA E7, E9 or E6, E7, E9 specifications, are over. Most of the big names with those approvals (and a bunch of builder approvals) have gone to the Mg package.
