Check out their 4-stroke Full synthetic Formualtion in the Formulary section:
They suggest by weight -
PAO 6 76%
Lexolube 3N-310 10%
Detergent Inhibitor 10%
Pour Point Depressant 0.15%
VII 4%
Here are three problems with this picture:
1. No AW or defoamer additive is suggested,
2. You shouldn't need a PPD with a FS lube
3. No corrosion or rust inhibitors.
Folks, don't try this at home unless you have money to do engine rebuilds.

You nailed it Pablo. Problem is, many people may miss the starting point comment and blindly dump this stuff in.
Any responsible formulator would test the oil for a year or so before introduction.
Yeah the PPD is strange. I think the key words in this formulation is "starting point"....
One issue: Interesting reading....if the links at their main site worked...
