Mobil likes the Sodium based add pack. Is this MS2000 the Canadian version of MS5k in the US?

The OP's 5W20 oil is a GF-4 that appears similar in formulation to a U.S. Mobil Super 5000 GF-5 SN 5W30, so perhaps they're closely equivalent. The U.S. version tests at 7.3 TBN and somewhat less zinc, moly, and phosphorus.

Thanks for the VOA.

@sayjac: Mobil 2000 is our Mobil synblend high mileage. The current stuff on the shelf is rated SN/GF-5, unlike a lot of high mileage oils.

Thank you SO much for running this VOA!

I've always suspected that our Super 1000 and 2000 are similar to the M5k in the US, but never have seen it confirmed.

I know it's not a big difference, but I'm suprised it is so thin, not closer to 9.0-9.2 cst. I guess they figure their 'seal-swelling additives' will take care of all consumption.

Would Super 2000 5w30 have a similar add pack?

 

[supercity]

Disregard that, I found the info I was looking for. There is no delete!

I doubt very much that the VI is as low as 138.
According to the PDS (see below) it's 153.
The problem is the KV40 of 51.3cSt should be 49cSt and the KV100 8.5cSt.

I'd ask Fluid life to test again. The main problem is their KV40 spec' is too high.

I like the high P level.

Thanks Skooba for this VOA: I think for this winters oil change in my our 08 5.4L 3V I'm going to change to PYB 5W-20 and 2qts of PU 5W-20...
