I noticed the Moly is about the same with M1 5-30EP, but the Boron was higher with the M1. Also the TBN is a tad higher with Edge than M1. What do you think about the differencies?
In those, the additive levels, TBN, and visc. are almost the same. I'm hoping the difference is in the base oil, which would need to be stouter to survive 15k miles they guarantee.

There can be alot of things that could make this a great oil that can not be seen in a VOA.

UOAs will tell some more about how this oil is.
Agreed. It's just a bit premature to judge this oil. I'm withholding judgment on this oil until I see UOA's and more VOA's on this oil. I'd like to see a lot before making a decision..
Between M1 EP and Edge, I'd rather give my money to XOM than BP. Edge may turn out to be a better oil. Time will tell. I'm sure Mobil is working on something even better.
