VOA Custom Mix 5w-40

[miniac007 53]

Hi all,

 

I needed a 5w-40 oil for some of my old cars in Sweden. A 5w for the winter and a 40 when engine warm, but it is now difficult to find something else than SM or SN... And I wanted a strong add pack for my flat tappets...

 

So I make my own 5w40 ...

 

Here is the mix:

 

- 5 liters of Pennasol Lightrun 10w40 CI-4 (any 10w-40 LKW CI-4 with Mo+B should work): http://www.motor-oel-guenstig.de/Motoroel-LKW-Traktor/10W-40/Pennasol-10W-40-Lightrun-2000-fuer-API-CI-4-SL-usw-::164.html

 

- 4 liters of Aral Hightronic 0w40 (100% PAO): http://www.levoil.de/epages/62903875.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62903875/Products/135

 

- 39ml of ZDDPlus: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ZDDPlus-Oil-Additive-for-Classic-Motorsport-Engines-/150328982689?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item23004e3ca1

 

 

Price 7€/l with delivery to Sweden from germany and UK.

 

I will test it and post the UOA later

 

 

PS: High TAN and insoluble traces come from Pennasol which contains recycled base

Зачётная нулёвка получилась! Вот бы ещё CCS измерить! Может Вы в нашу лабу образец отправите на анализ?

@Палыч314, думаю это 5-ка получилась, все таки 10-40 и 0-40 смешивались...

И TAN зашкаливает... Тысяч на 5 (по нашим понятиям смены)

I think, you'll get no benefits from this mix.

[miniac007 53]

Not a question of advantage, I just want a CI-4 5w40, and I cannot find one in Sweden... Mannol has the 5w-40 diesel turbo but I am unable to get it for Sweden... So, I didn't find any alternative to get a 5w-40 oil with high ZDDP for flat tappets, B + Mo, for 7€/l in Sweden...

 

If you know one, tell me, I will be very interessed :-)

20€/l ... no comment ...

 

For Duron, unable to get some in Sweden...

 

There are good 5w30 CI-4 at a good price, but my cars (peugeot and others) need SAE 40 ... a 5w40 at a good price, I have only found Mannol but no german provider to send it to Sweden...

Very high TAN :( So, this sample will not live long...

And do you have any kind of cats (or TWC etc.) in your car?

[Alehandro 2 697]

I suppose, it's possible to order PC Duron 5w-40 or Lukoil Avangard 5w-40.

 

CI-4 is rather old standard. I'm sure, you could use any SL/SN B4 oil without extra ware

Yes, high TAN is caused by Pennasol which is based on recycled oil... I had one can left so I used it... I will use Meguin FAMO for the next I think. But no matter for me, as my cars do not run a lot, so I often change oil every two years with 3000 km ... So no matter having an expensive syntoil for long OCI, I just want an oil which protect well, especially old engines, so a CI-4 dino is ok for me.

 

I have a TWC on my Volvo 940, but the manual ask for an API SG oil, and on my mitsubishi which asks for SL ... So ZDDP are not a problem ... The main problem is when an engine burns oil. In this case, you will kill your cat soon, SG or SN, no matter...
