I agree. Out of sheer BITOG curiosity, it would be interesting to see a VOA and UOA on this. The reality is that there's probably nothing wrong with it. It's worth it to play and see how it turns out. It's not like the engine is going to seize up after 3k miles using this stuff. The certs are outdated and the parent company has no idea of how to properly clear paperwork, etc. The VOA puts your mind at east to put it in the crankcase. The UOA tells you how long it can stay there. I'd run it about 3k miles and take a UOA just for the sake of self-satisfaction. If it looks good, then run it to the IOLM limit and test again.
Out of morbid curiosity, I grabbed a 5 gallon pail of it (Amazon marked it down to $42.00 with free prime shipping). I will VOA it and go from there. If nothing else, it should suffice as a near lifetime supply of OPE oil.
