Hello everyone,
First post here. The reason for my post is I'm trying to select an oil for my track car. It sees highway miles as I drive too and from the track. The rest of the miles are hard miles on track. I change oil every two-three events, depending on the schedule and how many miles. I would expect between 2,000-3,000 between changes.
I thought I was going to make a switch from Mobil 1 15w50 to Total QE 5w40, so I sent in a VOA. The results are a bit confusing for someone like me. Some of the numbers were not as high as I expected; zinc and TBN for the most part. And, as shown in the report, the Sodium levels were odd.
What I'm asking for is a bit of help interpreting the results. And should I run this oil? I realize that's a tough question to answer. But for reference, I chose this oil over MB1 15w50 and Shell Rotella T6.
Here are some VOA of the other oils I was considering.
