If you know about oils then you know the numbers listed are low. This oil is a major step in the right direction.

Does it compare to ours? Hard to tell without more detailed data from the company, but from your post "
but automakers and oil formulators agree that conventional oil with phosphorous levels below 0.08% are unable to perform to an acceptable standard"... Fuchs oil has a stated Phosphorus content of 0.05..which seems they did what others said could not be done. LOL

Again, I am not doubting our companies product, I am not naive to think that other solutions from other companies are not in the works...some it seems have already made it to market.

"they did reduce Phosphorous a little bit"

I do not think we should talk about overall oil quality comparison here. The major player here is a pollution factor: if government(s) require (and looks like they will) to bring down pollution levels, companies must comply.

It is clearly stated on Techrobond web site: "ZDDP contains very high levels of phosphorous and sulfur, both of which contribute significantly to automotive tailpipe emissions when burned in the engine.... It was with a stated mission of developing a range of innovative chemicals to solve these problems and replace the less-than-perfect additives..."

Common oils have 0.1% phosphorus content today. Premium oils - 0.08%. The one mentioned by Tenderloin reduces it to 0.05%. Techrobond takes it down to 0.01%. That is impressive enough.

Anoter fact: Jet engine lubrication oils can contain up to 3% tricresyl phosphate, here is rather disturbing article: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0907/is_2_56/ai_74335653

All said shows that we are talking here not about significant wear improvement but about substantial decreasing of pollution levels. That is a major factor that makes PLRO approach different from competitors (and there are quite a few - somewhere I've seen a statement that there are roughly 200 companies working on improved lubricants today).

Another outstanding point here is an impressive board of directors. Why all those high players join efforts in this unknown company? The only reason: they believe in success. Those people a)have superior knowledge b)do not waste their time (they just do not have it).
