Right. The special unicorn dust that isn’t detected by the Labs is the secret sauce and nobody knows which oil has it infused within.Definately more to that oil than is seen in a VOA. Makes me wonder what they are doing these days

Yeah your right the VOA tells all. Lets just use whatever has the extra mostest in itRight. The special unicorn dust that isn’t detected by the Labs is the secret sauce and nobody knows which oil has it infused within.
This is the oil I was interested in because I have two jugs of it for my next oil change. Disappointing, but there has to be more to the oil for it to be a 20,000 mile oil and to do so well in those recent tests.Ouch the M1 EP add pack and TBN.
They use extended release formula. Less TBN that goes further.This is the oil I was interested in because I have two jugs of it for my next oil change. Disappointing, but there has to be more to the oil for it to be a 20,000 mile oil and to do so well in those recent tests.

Why not use RedLine 5W-XX then? They're heavy on esters. Might be your smoothest oil yet.Valvoline is a great oil, I have use this one few times, I would not go any longer than 5k miles on it, I have enough for one more oil change and im thinking about adding a
Lubegard 30901 Bio/Tech Engine Oil Protectant, 15 oz in 8 quarts of valvoline,this is very popular over at ram forums, people claiming to make the engine very smooth and very quiet valve train.
dexos , redline is not dexos approved .Why not use RedLine 5W-XX then? They're heavy on esters. Might be your smoothest oil yet.
You're worried about Dexos, yet you have no problem playing chemistry with the oil in your engine. I have news for you: it doesn't have to be.dexos , redline is not dexos approved .
do thy ? that's great news, I will contact redline to see what will they say, I would love to use redline in my 6.2.You're worried about Dexos, yet you have no problem playing chemistry with the oil in your engine. I have news for you: it doesn't have to be.
Also, RedLine lists their oils as Dexos compatible. That covers you for warranty.
That information is on their website.do thy ? that's great news, I will contact redline to see what will they say, I would love to use redline in my 6.2.
That is strictly marketing. The fine print says to follow manufacturer intervals.This is the oil I was interested in because I have two jugs of it for my next oil change. Disappointing, but there has to be more to the oil for it to be a 20,000 mile oil and to do so well in those recent tests.
We are all aware of that...most say that. The point is that if an oil is supposed to get that far if it should be some stout stuff. The VOA didn't look spectacular.That is strictly marketing. The fine print says to follow manufacturer intervals.
If they’re using ashless detergents, this explains the painfully low TBN. It appears the original poster and his link to the Chevron whitepaper are gone(?) but TL;DR, ashless detergents measure about 1.5-2 TBN numbers lower than the actual acid-fighting power of the oil.Ouch the M1 EP add pack and TBN.
@MolaKule has gone on record plenty of times that you’re actually getting only a very, very small snapshot of what is in an oil based on the metallic additive content. Organic friction modifiers and plenty of other things, including what base oil group (GrpII, GrpIII, PAO, POE, etc) an oil uses, are not visible in a OA, so what’s hard to understand that there are plenty of things that you’ll never see on an oil analysis?Right. The special unicorn dust that isn’t detected by the Labs is the secret sauce and nobody knows which oil has it infused within.
Where is the evidence that oil analysis does not tell much truth? What does?Absolutely, BUT it still will be intresting to see nonetheless. Lol. I agree wholeheartedly.
For one thing all a spectrographic analysis does is measure some (mostly metallic) elements from decomposed compounds. Although some assumptions can be made about the origin of some of the elements it’s technically not possible to definitively determine this.Where is the evidence that oil analysis does not tell much truth?
