OK guys, thought I'd post the Euro L 5W30 VOA since I had great success with the Euro 0W40 in my Odyssey. This oil went into my 01 Forester with 216k, so I will have a UOA sometime in the future.
First thoughts looking at the VOA, it is kind of a letdown (at least to me) when comparing to the 0W40 on the add pack. I understand this is a C3/SN oil, and the 0W40 is an A3/B4 oil, but at 7.6k UOA, the 0W40 TBN was only 1.0 lower than this VOA. Can somebody chime in on this? I know it's a serviceable oil, but this almost makes me want to just use the 0W40 in the Subaru as well as the Odyssey. I'll put the VOA up first, and my 0W40 UOA up second. VI does look to be impressive at 183, which is slightly higher than the PDS at 174. I'll toss the PDS clip in at the bottom.
For $22.97, it's not a BAD oil, but I think it's just OK. Thoughts on the Euro L 5W30?
