Optilube Ultraflow 5w30 has anyone tried or even heard of it ?

Opti lube is a reputable brand for sure even though it doesn't technically have certifications but tons of oils that don't have them still perform to or at least super close to the standard. They just chose to not pay the huge cost to say it's certified which raises prices and reduces the competitiveness. It's a good faith thing though, so It's not gonna be some bad oil. If it's well priced I'd buy it. I don't know what your shipping cost will be so add that and compare to local offerings. If a local brand name is a few quid more I'd get it instead.
 
Below are some previous discussions on this brand, plus some discussion about their additives which appears to be the main focus of their marketing. According to their website do they even market motor oil anymore?

Optilube Users?

Any Optilube users out there? Did the advent of HPCR and biodiesel negate their market?

Opti Lube

Has anyone in the diesel family used the summer version yet? Just ran my first tank...my first impression is that the product reaks (smells real bad) and is difficult to mix into diesel (I do it in my 2 cycle mixing bottle) before adding to tank

Any comparisons of Opti-Lube and RP Max Tane

I've been using Opti-Lube for some time now and feel it has performed as advertised but no real data to prove it except I have never had any gelling problems or fuel pump issues. Summer blend during the warm months and XPD in the winter. Since most of my lubricants are now Royal Purple I wanted...

Soyshield or Opti Lube XPD?`

Just wondering which would be best for our pre-'07 diesels running ULSD. I keep hearing reports of injector pump failures on earlier engines running ULSD.

How would you know this? And are you sure they have "tons of oils" for sale?

I've used Optilube XPD for years but hadn't heard of the oil or even if it was the same company

I think he was referring to other oils that don’t pay for the testing/certifications but still meet or exceed them (Amsoil, Hpl, ….)

Unless I’m reading that wrong

No I think you are correct. I was reading too much into it, coupled with the fact I couldn't find any oil on their site.
