Provided as a courtesy by FluidLife when I had my recent UOA done. Since it's their nickel, no TBN was done. The VOA is added to their database for future reference, and they require the VOA in order to provide accurate UOA analysis for Nitration, Oxidation and Sulfation.

Thanks. Looks like every other SM oil.

Not bad. Other than being a tad-bit overpriced when directly compared to similar GroupIII oils like PP, I have no issues with Syntec whatsoever.

Looks like a better additive package than Pennzoil Platnum.
Notice the boron and the moly?

Platinum can be found 3-4 times per year at Advanced Auto - usually one half-to-one third the price of Syntec.

Here's a depleted Platinum UOA by clicking Right Here that's pretty darn close to this Syntec VOA.
