They claim to make non-petroleum oil.

So maybe they figured out how to have the additives in their oil without using some petroleum oil as the carrier (like Renewable Lubricants)??? Or in the fine print, there is some petroleum oil

Can't really tell without viewing MSDS. I couldn't find any on their website.

Sounds similar to Novvi, now a part of Chevron. Novvi makes the Havoline Pro RS.

Ok just saw a guy talking about using this stuff in a VW Racers group on FB. They discuss "zero weight" and use of a 4 ball wear tester....not sure about this stuff haha.

20 bucks a quart is pretty impressive pricing. There's plenty of money to be made in specialty lubricants.

One of the board’s favorite blenders has Novvi base oils available in certain product lines IIRC. It’s just not talked about much because it does the job without fanfare or downside. I’d consider that a great endorsement of what Novvi is doing.
