If you have a favorite oil and a link to their verifyable MSDS numbers for viscosity index, flashpoint, HTHS, and the likes than please e-mail them to me or post them under this thread and ill include them in this database.

Take a look at how these formulations behave under high shear rates, ie: 100,000 cycles/sec...I think this data speaks for itself, so I won't bother explaining it: ok, better base oil DOES have better HT/HS numbers for it's viscosity grade.

M1 0w-40 is 14.7 Cst @ 100C
High Temp/High Shear is 3.6 Cp @ 150C

Delvac 1 5w-40 is 14.7 Cst @ 100C
High Temp/High Shear is 4.0 Cp @ 150C

Amsoil 10w-40 is 14.7 Cst @ 100C
High Temp/High Shear is 4.2 Cp @ 150C

Red Line 10w40 is 14.6 cSt@100C
HTHS=4.7

Red Line 5w40 is 15.1 cSt@100C
HTHS=4.6

Red Line 10w30 is 10.7 cSt@100C
HTHS 3.8<ul><li><a href="http://www.infineum.com/information/viscosity.html">This chart explains everything</a></li></ul>

will this dino meet long life specs? if so id like to add that so people will know. thanks for you input. mike

ok, how about posting the VI, FP, CP, and HTHS #s por favor.

absolute viscosity. I'll look for a ht/hs number for you, but it will fall within line with what is required for a 40 weight oil, like 3.7-4.5. Honestly, you can't tell much about how an oil will work by it's specs. Even a lab analysis of virgin oil can tell you about it's additives, or lack of, but it can't tell you about basestock. A high quality base will show low additives, but work better. High quality base will need less VI improvers to meet specs, showing a low VI index, again misleading. Used oil analysis is more indicative of how well an oil works, holding TBN, Viscosity etc.

These are indeed important numbers that do measure how an oil performs in our engines. I would much prefer having an oil with a HTHS of 4.5 in my car than 3.7 all other things being eqaul. Having a falshpoint of 480degrees versus 430 degress is also quite significant. These numbers are quite important in selecting a motor oil. These numbers do represnt oil analysis results. Cheers!

These numbers are for the 5w40, but other viscosities can be found in the link below.

VI: 175
%Ash: 1.1
Cold Pour: -51
Flash Point: 450
HTHS: 3.8<ul><li><a href="http://www.kendallmotoroil.com/techdata/motoroil/K_GT-1_SYN.PDF">Kendall GT-1 Full Synthetic test data</a></li></ul>
