Don't like the look of that VOA at all!

No Moly, No Boron, Low Zinc and Low detergents. Looks like a classic case of you get what you pay for.
It should be good for short OCI's, but it's a long way from a major brand full synthetic that might last 10K miles.
If you are a UOA fan, an oil with Sodium is not good news, as it can make detecting an HG leak more difficult. Some types of Castrol GTX also use Sodium adds to save money, but I would prefer to see Ca and Mg based detegent-dispersants used insted.

The Pro part or Proline is prabably used because professional Iffy lube shops like to use the cheapest oil possible. It makes sense to supply your own major brand oil from whatever Wallymart or some other good supermarket has on special.
