Acea is a self certification program and there are no effective cross checks of companies that claim their ratings.
Any company can say it's oil is recommended for anything, so try checking what BMW, VW, Merc or Porsche say in their lists.
This is the worlds first oil to claim it's almost an Acea everything! It even list it's good for LPG and you need a high SAPS or HDEO, probably a 10 or 15w40 for that type of fuel. Not exactly good for C2 or C3 application.

At present there is a worldwide glut of very cheap G3 synthetic base stocks, hence some of the new
names. The cost and a lot of the performance is related to the additives included in the oil.

If I was down under, I would try Shell or Castrol.

TBN minimum requirement to meet ACEA A3/B4 is 10. Also one cannot meet at same time C3 (minimum HTHS requirement of 3.5), and A5/B5 (lower HTHS viscosity, fuel economy product).
AVOID!

Granted this is just me, but apart from the specs it meets or doesn't meet I wouldn't use any oil with the name "LubriMaxx POWERSYN".
