anybody know anything about this oil?
I found it on the Daimler MB229.5 list.
It's hard to link to a PDF file but the latest data sheet I found is from May 2015 and lists the following:
Meets the following Specifications 5W-30
ACEA A3/B4,
VW 502 00, 505 00
GM-LL-A-025
GM-LL-B-025
Has the following Approvals
API SL
MB-Approval 229.5
Typical Properties
Viscosity @ 100 ºC, cSt 11.5
Viscosity Index 170
Flash Point, ºC 234
Pour Point, ºC -42
TBN, mg KOH/g 10.1
Density @ 15ºC, Kg/l 0.856
Sulphur, % wt 0.281
Phosphorus, % wt 0.096
Sulphated Ash, % wt1.25
May 2015
When fed into the Harman Index calculator, I get a 0.9429 back
That's either an extremely high index, or the oil doesn't actually have an HTHSv of 3.5. Either or both are possible.
It's a GrIII synthetic.
