You sure that this sample didn't come from a rusty tin can?

Even widman's UOA where the engine was imploding still showed zero tin. What's up with 30ppm of tin???

Were there any Lead or Antimony numbers or were they Zero or not tested for?? I'm thinking this oil may have gotten a health dose of Antimony by design.

It appears Antimony was not tested for in this analysis .

169 ppm Tin in 3 ounces of lube with huge Antinomy in it .

Thats a streetable oil . Just guessing a TBN of 5 or so .


EDIT

Whats that type Tin called , Napthenate ?

Is this the SR-5 synthetic?

This doesnt go with the data sheets provided by Torco which I posted up in the VOA forum a lil while back...
