Their format is hard to read. They should use a larger font CAPITAL letter on top of the elements and justify the text to the top, rather than the bottom. "P"otassium

Interesting that iron is between 5-7 in the virgin fluids!

Wow I might have to give Amsoil's new MTL a try some time just so I have another choice to recomend. I have to admit though I am partial to ester's over PAO given the choice. It is smart though for Amsoil to copy Redline as Redline MTL has been in a class by itself for a super long time! It never pays to reinvent the wheel when you can just copy someone else's wheel and have an instantly great product!I still have a while before I need to change out my lube in transmission.

Amsoil didn't copy Redline. They both copied Synchromesh!!!!
Great data. Amsoil is a point thinner at temp.
With many new fluids showing up with doses of Boron, makes me wonder if they'll need to 'reformulate' with newer technology.

And Synchromesh has an even stronger additive package, with similar viscosity to Amsoil.

Yes, synchromesh is 'loaded' but doesn't have the group4/5 basestocks.

In actuality, the original Blue/Silver labeled bottle of GM Synchromesh contained some GroupV base oil in it for low temp operation.

The GroupV was an alkylated Benzene, similar to the alkylated naphthalene or AN.
The next time I come across a bottle, I will get the part number off of it. As I recall, it had some Delco wording on the label.

It's hard to see the "real" potency of these fluids without a sulfur count. The sulfur would provide the heavy duty EP.
