It's better if you type it out. This way the data doesn't get lost if the image disappears or the link gets broken.

But if you want to:

1. Open the PDF and hit PrintScreen button.

2. Open your graphics/photo editor application (such as Paint in Windows) and choose Edit/Paste.

3. Save the image as JPG file.

4. Upload the JPG file to a free image hosting site such as photobucket.

5. Post a link to the image in your thread on BITOG and wrap it in

tags.

It has a pretty good dose of magnesium to make up for the calcium. A lot of oil blenders are leaning that direction these days.

Thanks Hoosier for the post.

And yes as I recall cSt visc @ 100c was always quoted as a smidge over 12...lab error? Btw, which lab did this VOA?

Whats the downside to Mg in a non-diesel application? I recall someone on NORIA explaned it once b4. Looks like pass car euro Diesel oil.

i'm using Blackstone. i'm running some oils i find interesting to share here. i don't know how accurate Blackstone is and these numbers should really only be compared to other Blackstone reports. they seem to always run to the low side on additives

It apparently is abrasive, and can create rough deposits if it is burned in the CC......something like that.

Like the TBN
Some of the add pack looks weak
Appears they don't like Moly in their formula.
