Why would you need to know what's in it if it meets the specification required for your vehicle? Are you claiming that if the spec is on the store brand bottle it's likely a lie, and if on their site, PQIA is complicit in the lie?
And tell me, do you know what's in Pennzoil?
You could fool PQIA really easily.
AA only measures elements.
You could put elemental zinc powder in your oil, and it would be detected as an additive.
