I think some proof is rolling in with UOA's of the gold.
One thing for sure, P. Scholte will need to re-dye his green lederhosen.

Are you reffering to Bruce's initial report on the Gold GC showing a much lower TBN compared to the Green GC?
Here's what Bruce had to say on that one:
"The Gold M05 was posted earlier with a LOW TBN due to not enough sample so now is retested and looks good."
On the topic of that 'gummi-bear' smell: I've discovered that Valvoline Maxlife Synthetic 10W30 has exactly the same smell as GC.
but why no Moly?? it does worry me.quote:

Why does it worry you since it generates excellent UOA wear numbers?quote:

for the same reason most of us prefer grp IV/V over grp III - peace of mind.

But isn't seeing extremely low wear on oil analysis reports more than enough to give you peace of mind? I know it is for me!
How does gp4 and 5 give peace of mind?
Yep, I mentioned that a few months ago.quote:

That's what I mean. I saw that but I cannot deduct anything from there that would indicate what its base is. Call me stupid (OK, you're stupid), but I need someone to point out the factor there that says it is PAO/Ester based still. TIA>
It should be, they're both ACEA A3 rated.
