I dont think anyone has done a VOA on a NEO oil yet, so here ya go! This is NEO's 10W30, their site states that it is a 100% diester based oil, and here are their stats for it:
VI= 185
Viscosity @ 100 deg C= 11.75
TBN= 8
ASH= 1.03
Flash= 470 deg
Pour= -49
Here is Blackstones report:
We don't know what type of oil this is, but it certainly uses a lot of lead as an additive. We
are glad you sent this in, so when we see a sample from your engine we can attribute the high lead we will find to your oil, and not your bearings. Silicon read high in this oil too, so make a note of that as well when you send in an engine oil sample. The TBN of this oil read 15.8. No moisture or insolubles were present in the sample.
ALUMINUM- 1
CHROMIUM- 0
IRON- 2
COPPER- 0
LEAD- 170
TIN- 0
MOLYBDENUM- 0
NICKEL- 0
MANGANESE- 0
SILVER- 0
TITANIUM- 0
POTASSIUM- 0
BORON- 59
SILICON- 12
SODIUM- 2
CALCIUM- 3563
MAGNESIUM- 422
PHOSPHORUS- 1704
ZINC- 1916
BARIUM- 0
SUS Viscosity @ 210 = 60.2
Flash = 390
TBN = 15.8
So, is this oil worth $10 a quart? Im new to this site, so I have no idea what all of this means yet, so if the experts here could translate I would appreciate it.
