I emailed shell one year to ask and they told me it was 3.8, but couldn't/wouldn't give me any documentation to prove it because it was confidential. So I would assume it's 3.8.

How long did it take you to get back your report once Blackstone received the sample? When I was sending in my samples for my Golf R early this year and in 2022 I would get the report back within 3 days of them receiving the sample. They have had this first sample I have done on my m2c I picked up in April for going on 2 weeks now with nothing.

Good catch! I’ll reach out and ask them why they listed b58. It’s an 18 m2 n55

If I am not mistaken, only shell uses GTL technology - no one else advertises GTL and no one else really talks or even mentions about using GTL.
So pretty much any non shell oil should be non GTL.

isn't some oil synthesis yell for GTL even if they don't mention it?is it possible to read that from specs? os it could be some GTL and sonething else, with GTL together as a base oil synthesis. bcs not all of them advertise it like shell.

Motul X-Cess Gen 2 5W-40 is fully Yubase or some other decent quality Group III. Castrol Edge Euro 5W-40 probably similar. If you are base-oil obsessed then you want Ravenol VST 5W-40 since it's basically all PAO. I think the Motul is on par with PP Euro, but I don't think the Castrol is as good. Avoiding GTL is not something I understand as being rational, though. Last edited by chris719; 11-27-2023 at 07:06 PM.. |

everybody has his preferences in oils.some like pao , others esters and so on. i am not a fan of some base oil .
i know all about GTL and shell/mobil /Infineum - company technology. what matters is not knowledge and technology to drivers.what matters is final product and results. as much as i like shell/mobil products, i use shell gas, and its oils that i have been using in my ex-italian cars,in this car ,funny you mention mobil too ,both mobil esp 5-30 and shell 5-30 oils have some consumption while other oils like motul and castrol don't. so you drive me to the conclusion that avoiding them is very rational . |

I bought Castrol Edge 5W-30 LL01/04 and only drive summertime like 1000km/620 miles per season. Right or wrong I dont know but Thats what the vendor recommended me.

And you know this is because of GTL how? It's far more likely to do with the base oil viscosities that are in the formula and the particular VMs used. It may have nothing at all to do with GTL.

1) What weights were the motul oils? 2) What type of of shell oil was it exactly? Because not all shell oils are made equal. 3) What type of motul oil was it exactly? You can't just use oil a few times, not understand the spec and just say it's crap because of oil consumption. Maybe the motul oil you used had higher viscosity, maybe the shell oil you used was a version with high NOACK and the motul wasn't. So you really can't draw a conclusion by saying you saw some consumption using 5w30 and that's that.
