Hi, @Sonofsonof , Happy to see you again :) In fact, a very similar test was performed. Here are the results with the oil temperature at 90 C You can see the rest of the tests carried out by Toyota R&D in 1997 here:

Oil-club.ru has information about oils called Extreme. These are special kind of oils - real full synthetic oils. One of the people involved in the production of these oils has explicitly stated the content of PAO and Esters in their composition. I will give an example with 5w-30 oils: Extreme...

Please note that the 5w-30 prototype with Ester FE 2.x has 42% more viscosity modifiers (VM) in it.

I just want to emphasize that VII coil size expansion with temperature is not necessary to achieve significant elevation of viscosity index (VI). The results in this study - How Polymers Behave as Viscosity Index Improvers in Lubricating Oils, show that coil size expansion with temperature is...

Hello OVERKILL, As far as I can see from the pictures posted from you in the other thread (in European and Import Motor Oils) your oil has been produced on 10.2016 (info on the 1 L bottles). Oil-club.ru had (now it is gone) a VOA of the Ravenol SSL 0w-40 oil from batch produced on 02.09.2016...

The oil-club.ru had an analysis of this oil. It was made in 2015. Here it is: And this is an FTIR of the oil: This is the oil that was tested: The analysis is no longer available in the oil-club.ru, as the discussion of the Ravenol's oils in this forum was forbidden - a conflict between...

Thank you SoJ for all of your efforts that gives us a better understanding about TBN contributions of different metals

Great info SoJ! This is what I found about overbased sodium sulphonate: "A lot of overbased sulphonate have been commercialized, including calcium sulphonate with a TBN of 300—400[1-2], magnesium sulphonate with a TBN of 400[3], sodium sulphonate with a TBN of 400 and other sulphonates, and...

Concerning SDS ^^ - In another thread, discussing Red Line oils, Tom NJ has pointed to something interesting about base oils they use, namely: Originally Posted by Tom NJ Interesting to note that they are using dodecene based PAO instead of the normal 1-decene based product. The dodecene based...
