Before anyone gets upset, I am currently running this exact same oil in my 2008 Yamaha Vector snowmobile, and I have 2, 4.4 ltr jugs remaining.
I always thought the "euro version" of any oil as a less aggressive add-pack to comply with their spes, and therefore less gravitas. Amsoil agrees with that, when I talked to them on it.
No, compared to a typical Energy Conserving PCMO, the Euro oils have significantly higher levels of AW additives. Now, an oil that doesn't carry SN like AMSOIL or Redline will have even higher levels, but from what's available off the shelf at your typical parts store or Walmart, the Euro oils are more robust than the typical offerings, particularly when we are talking about full-SAPS products like M1 0w-40, Castrol 0w-40...etc.
