Pretty good value for the money in my neck of the woods at $7/quart it's at least 40% cheaper than all the bigger brands.

I use it in an old Daewoo banger and it keeps the engine pretty clean with no oil consumption.

Good oil from Russia, although the NOACK is about average if it is 13%.

It's LL-04, meaning it's not optimal for North American fuel. I wouldn't run it, but that's my opinion.

I'm running the 5w40 genesis premium in the Fiat.
Good oil, it takes longer for the engine to reach 90°C, even after 3000km. No oil consumption.
Somewhat viscous on the dipstick at -5°C, though. The Q8 was still looking fine at that temp.

Unfortunatelly, it's a mid/low SAPS (MB229.51)
I see they have the FullSAPS version (5w40 Genesis, MB229.5)
They also have Lukoil Luxe, FullSAPS, used it once, good oil, except for cold starts (~ -27°C), when it failed.

Very smooth run with those two, smooth, fast, quiet acceleration, qualities that last for many km.

Cheap and highly underrated oils.
For very cold climates, get some 0w though (which they don't have...)
