I picked up a bottle of 5w30 HMX today just because I had a $10 autozone gift card. Would Anyone like to see a VOA of the oil??
I'm curious and I may send off a sample to blackstone.

I suspect a lot of people would be interested in seeing that, including me.
Yes!
Yes it's going to be good. You won't see the extra sulfur from the synerlec on Blackstone VOA, or the seal conditioners but you should see the high zddp, calcium and whatever else they pair it with, probably some Tri nuclear moly and a little Boron I'm guessing.
I also would wager it's thick for the grade since it's API SL high mileage.

I agree, it will likely be similar to the HPS 5w30 VOA I posted a couple months ago. I bought the HMX in 5w30 so it will be an across the board comparison. HMX is SL certified so I suspect it will have less ZDDP than HPS. HMX claims great cleanup abilities on the bottle. I'm curious to see if the detergent package is the same as HPS or if it is using a different chemistry. HPS has about 3200PPM of Calcium.

I would like to see it
I just picked up some of Royal Purple's fairly new Duralec 15w40 diesel oil to send in for a VOA.

I say go for it. But, I'd wager that it was similar to their HPS that was recently posted.

I agree, I posted the HPS VOA. I want to compare them side by side just for kicks.

I mailed a sample off to Blackstone today. Stay tuned and Check the VOA section in the next week or so.
