Full synthetic 5w30 HDEO that looks pretty stout to me. Now I have to find a source for it. The only other 5w30 HDEO that I would consider is the Ams series-3000.

Thanks for posting the VOAs! I didn't even know this oil existed. Now its an option for me.

It is an Excellent Oil. I have been running it in my Isuzu Rodeo 1999 V6 3.2 Liter Gas Engine. I got a UOA sample at 6K it still had tons of additive left. I will be doing another sample at 9K will be posting the results soon. Over all excellent oil. I was able to order it through a distributor 25.00$ for each gallon delivered to the door.

Thanks,
