Shell is not going to divulge base oil information for their formulas over e-mail, that's just silly.

And it was GTL or it wasn't GTL? If it was GTL, aren't you now contradicting yourself?

Not trying to be rude, but why would I care to read previous speculation on this subject?

It intrigues you because it doesn't align with your theory

Again, you aren't explaining why there is a difference between your cleaning claims for 0w-40 and 5w-40 if they were based the same with GTL. I'm not inclined to google anything here, you've made the claim, I expect you to support it with actual data. Right now, all we have is rather baseless posit.

I have used Mobil 1 for many years, that doesn't make me a tribologist. I assume XOM gets their GTL base oils from Shell unless they've converted one of their other facilities to perform Fischer-Tropsch.
Your not even trying to get any facts. And your comments does not make any sense at all. You can ask Shell about it and they will tell you that Shell helix ultra 0w-40 have more gtl than the 5w-40. 5w-40 is common viscosity and chepest oils too in my country. Is it so hard to understand that i was talking about 0w-xx GTL oils? Do you really think that mobil 1 didnt want to pay to get the Bmw LL01? Their is no oil brand with viscosity of 0w-xx that have gtl over 50% that will get the BMW Longlife 1. Mobil 1 fs 0w-40 contain 40-70% gtl,this info is via your old post here at the forum. Nice work! Now bring me someting about the bmw twin power 0w-40,voa or a uoa so i can compere zink amount or titanium
So far you DID NOT provided ANY facts. You have a right to your own opinion, but not to your own facts.
Provide evidence! Provide us here copy of that e-mail from Shell that spells out amount of GTL? Shell does not want even to answer to people how much sulfated ash there is in their oils, let alone to spell out to you what is exact content of their oils.
Besides your temper tantrum here, LL-01 is not particularly difficult specification to meet. IMO, M1 0W40 FS is not also particularly special oil, and I find for me some issues there (as why they need such high sulfated ash content in their oil). But you behave like someone owes you answers while at the same time you did not provide single evidence to support your claims. When you claim something then you are the one to provide evidence. You do not tell people: send e-mail to Shell. You are the one to send that e-mail, and once you get an answer provide it here and support your claim.
If i send a email it wont prove anyting. Please read my old comments before you comment any blame on me. Then you can find MSDS on their website but that seems to be too hard.
