Here is another oil report from Blackstone
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw6UMLYL9XIcLVRpbGxyX1Q2UzA/view?pli=1

You read "List from the left"
No1 List Mobil 1 New Life 0W40 (Non Low saps)
No2 list Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 (Non Low saps)
No3 list Fuchs Titan Pro C3 5w30 (low saps oil)
No4 List Fuchs Titan Pro C3 5w30 (low saps oil)
No5 List Aral Super Tronic 0W40 (low saps oil)
No6 List Aral Super Tronic 0W40 (low saps oil)

What its your opinion?

Looks good! What is your driving pattern like? Lots of hwy driving? Taxi service?

Iron is only half of what it was with some of the previous oils. Now where are all the M1 iron bashers?

 

[Nikos_jd]

Thanks,My car its taxi.
Mobil has right that "keeps the engine like new"!

Looks good except one thing.
it says that cst of M1 is 14.45. Cst of that M1 when new is 13.5. How is that oil actually thickened during exploitation?
Lot's of soot?

That would be my guess, the soot.

Yes but this will change a lot the flash point of the lubricant?
on the basis of the following typical numbers of Mobil has decreased by 9 degrees Celsius (230°C to 221°C)
I know that oxidation is changing the viscosity in this sample TBN its very good after extend use or Is there theory such a thing as an oil that improves with age?

 

[Garak]

But, we don't have an actual VOA of that batch of oil from the same lab, in the case, Blackstone. Data sheet values aren't the best substitution for a VOA from the same lab.

Do not worry about TBN in your application. You are running Euro diesel which has very small amount of sulfur which is main enemy of TBN.

 

[Pontual]

Yes, but humidity plays a big part in sulfuric acid production, too, not just high ppm of sulfur.

 

[Noobie]

Wonder what happened to the Shell Helix Ultra with higher wear metals.

Did it have more cold starts or something like that?

It does. But Greece is nothing like Brasil, or South East U.S. when it comes to humidity.

I think certainly depends on factors...
The Shell its running above 3.178km from Mobil and the silicone level its above of all samples.
Aral it΄'s nearly to Mobil there is and biggest difference.
But I think the difference is small and depends sample to sample.
I will try to keep the Mobil around to 22.000km !
