Thanks for the offer Larry, I have a couple kits left, I'd like the long form next time if possible. How would I remind you of that?
I'm still waiting for Brian to put up some data. He says Mobil 1 has changed and isn't as good. I provide data points spanning 6 years that says he's wrong, he just questions my data... -Curt Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2012 20:05:38 -0400 From: Larry T <l02tur...@comcast.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Diesel OIL again Message-ID: <4f934b52.1090...@comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed During the Oil Analysis test, the viscosity it tested at 100C. a 15W40 should test at 40W (not below, not above) at 100C after 4000-500 miles, perhaps more... The oil analysis report is broken into 3 basic parts - metal contamination - looking for excess copper, lead, iron, alum, etc, then there's the Additives section where the normal additives are shown with their levels. Finally theres the physical part where viscosity, grade, water presence, glycol presence, etc is shown. I can send more info if you;re interested in buying some kits? I can provide this info to anyone of course - which includes a sample Analysis report. The sample I use is a sanitized version of a real test - a long distance trucker gets his oil tested with me and I have a sample page with 5 or 6 tests on it.
