This is A1/B1 A5/B5. Surprised that their 40 weights are mostly 15cSt @ 100°C then right down to 9.6 for their 5W-30.

Opinions? Looks like a fuel saver oil, almost a very thick 20 weight. Could be a nice oil for me to dilute some 15W-40 I was given!
 
Our 5w30's in the States were going this light direction, then came along Dexos 1 and many appear to be moving back up to 10 or 11 cSt.
