I'm thinking about using it in my Camry.
How does this oil look on paper?

That tells us almost nothing other than it's Royal Purple. Got a VOA? That would be a bit better...
Royal Purple doesn't get a lot of love here but I've never seen anything on it that doesn't lead me to believe it is good stuff.

It's not Royal Purple so please give me your opinion on just the properties listed.
It mentions exceeds, but it may not have the starburt and donut.
Based on just those specifications. It doesn't standout and the fact that it mentions european manufacturers and GF-5 is kind of contradictory.
EDIT: The 10w30 looks like it may also meet the 5w30 standards, unless the information is miss labeled.

If it says oil, and its in a jug, buy it, just kidding, RP is good, cant remember anyone in here saying they blew out their crank, pistons, or cams with it, use it. For church runs, doctors office and the like ur good, now if ur gonna hold down the pedal for say 8 hrs at Daytona, think again,

Talk about being vague. Which ones? All of them? LOL!
This alone would turn me off from ever considering this oil.

What stands out to me the most is the 5w30 seems a bit on the heavy side with a 60.9Cst@40c that could be a negative or a netural thing. I say that because thicker at cold is never a better thing. It is thicker than the 10w30 listed!! Other than that it looks like a decent oil. Based on the limited information avaliable. More info would help narrow down the product.

I tend to agree.
LOL, id use it, so its vague? who cares, Zerex g-05 Antifreeze uses the same terms on their bottlesm and is probably the best Antifreeze for the application.

Well I wouldn't go as far as to say that I would never use a product with such a statement. I just think it looks suspicious because it's obviously designed to impress people who don't know what they're reading. For the oils mentioned by the OP, given that there are no actual third-party approvals and the specs don't look like anything special, I'd say there isn't a lot to recommend them.
On the other hand, if someone can produce good evidence that the products work well, then great.

You are not going to get any factual info from an oil manufacturer on his mix of additives as its proprietary. And its the mix that matters not any one component. The MSDS will not help either.
Testing and or real use and UOAs will help tell the story.
Quite honestly I think you are wasting member's time by asking absurd questions and not providing all the info up front.

@LineArrayNut
Your first oil looks like MPT Thirty-K synthetic 5W30.
Your second oil looks like MPT Synthetic Race Oil.
