<VV> Specs on Quaker State "Defy" Motor Oil

[Ken Maxwell]

Hi Guys,
 
Here are some specs I found on a test of the Quaker State "Defy" oil 10W30.
 
Here are the results of the Lab Test, which was done by ALS Tribology
(formerly Staveley Labs) in Sparks, Nevada:

Quaker State 10W30 Defy, API SL synthetic blend (lab tested 2012)
NOTE: An API SL rating is for 2004 and older automotive engines. This rating
was replaced by the API SM rating at the end of November 2004, when the 2005
models were already available.

Silicon = 3 ppm (anti-foaming agent in new oil, but in used oil, certain
gasket materials and dirt can also add to this number)
Boron = 170 ppm (detergent/dispersant, anti-deposit buildup/anti-sludge)
Magnesium = 8 ppm (detergent/dispersant, anti-deposit buildup/anti-sludge)
Calcium = 2652 ppm (detergent/dispersant, anti-deposit buildup/anti-sludge)
Barium = 0 ppm (detergent/dispersant, anti-deposit buildup/anti-sludge)
Total detergent/dispersant (anti-deposit buildup/anti-sludge) = 2830 ppm
Zinc = 1221 ppm (anti-wear)
Phos = 955 ppm (anti-wear)
Moly = 99 ppm (anti-wear)
Total anti-wear = 2275 ppm
Potassium = 4 ppm (anti-freeze corrosion inhibitor)
Sodium = 0 ppm (anti-freeze corrosion inhibitor)
TBN = 6.5 (Total Base Number is an acid neutralizer to prevent corrosion.
Most gasoline engine motor oils start with TBN around 8 or 9. And in use,
this becomes depleted over time as mileage accumulates) 
Viscosity (cSt at 100*C) = 11.7 (cSt range for SAE 30 is 9.3 to 12.4) And
cSt (centistokes) in general terms, represents an oil's thickness
 
It looks like the zinc is 1221 which seems to be pretty good, especially for
the price! What do you guys think?
