This is a VOA of the current BMW 5w-30 synthetic.
the bottles production code is M060417A54.
Sample date 03/31/2006.
This was a clean 5w-30 oil in which no problems were found in the analyisis. Only a trace of insolubles were found which really isn't unusual for a virgin product.
The additives are typical of other samples we have run for this oil. the TBN was 10.6, plenty high, and a good point to start out from if you intend to use this oil for extended use. 1.0 is considered too low. This oil should serve your gas engine needs well.
