QUOTE(alcyon @ Sep 27 2016, 12:33 PM) No, its only API SN, but i believe you dont need ACEA A3/B4. ACEA A3/B4 is basically setting HTHS min as 3.5, and TBN of 10 and above.It has a HTHS of 3.55 which is very good, and as you said no VII. The fuel economy does take a bit of a hit, but if it protects my engine better, why not ? i estimate the TBN is somewhere around 8 (based on other PYB)which is good enough for 10000km run. Besides, the higher the TBN, the lower the lubricity. Already run 3000km with it so far and now only starting to darken. I will send UOA sample when the time comes. There are older stocks in ACE hardware with the black label of this oil, which is API SJ i think, that means prolly has higher zinc and phosphorous. You only need 3 1/2 bottles. Now getting about 450km per tank of RON 95 with mixed 50/50 city highway driving. I also find this oil cools the engine very well, as seen by my oil temp and pressure gauges. If you don't mind, do help contribute on my thread (which I've featured your previous UOA as well) here as well please https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3310512

QUOTE(alcyon @ Oct 2 2016, 11:42 PM) For a company like hyrax to claim that they make such good oils...they must really know their stuff right ? How is it possible on their top of the line 0w30 to have both ilsac gf5 and acea a3/b4 ? Either they dont know much about oils..mislabel..or downright lying. So if they are cheating about these specs..what else are they cheating on ? API cert is one thing..but what if yr engine requires other cert ..and they claim it meets those specs but does not actually meet or exceed those specs..then how ? well to my surprise lol https://engineoil.api.org/Directory/EolcsRe...andName%3Dhyrax
