When the new 300V formula came out I remember seeing that the TBN had dropped substantially. Maybe it's got an overbased additive package similar to M1 ESP where it stabilizes at ~2.5 TBN for a long time.
I modify my previous statement. Looks like it can do medium drain intervals, just like Redline.
I've never felt the need to look closely at 300V, it's preposterously expensive and so similar to Redline they might as well be the same oil. Why pay a bunch of $$ to import oil when you can buy a domestically produced alternative? If I lived in Europe I'd use 300V over Redline for the same reason.
Just to be clear, I think of long drain intervals as 10,000+ mi these days. That's the factory OCI for most Toyota and Honda cars, and that's how far XOM warrants Regular and AFE Mobil 1. M1 EP is of course 15,000 mi.
