Any reason you couldn't use this in a passenger car?

What kind of car? Seems like a general purpose non-API lube for gear boxes and machinery.
I wouldn't; especially when modern engines have lubes specifically formulated to address their challenges.

'92 Roadmaster Estate Wagon, with a 350. Suitable for use in gasoline and diesel engines. This company does have API oils though, just curious.
If their CG-4 claim is legitimate, I'd see no reason why not. But, given the laundry list of bizarre specifications listed, I would be wondering.
For those interested, the claims are thus:
API GL-4, API CG-4, SAE 10w-40, ACEA E2, SAE 80W, SAE 80w-90, 85W-90, 85W, 80W, HLP-D/HVLP-D (ISO VG 32-100)

I see what you mean. I've contacted Ravenol about a more appropriate oil, their Turbo Extra 20W-50. It's API SL/CF, mineral based.
