This is quite common in the Powersports industry and honestly it's almost impossible to find an HEDO in a 50 weight in the United States, though more common around the world. I only know of one other company Amsoil and that too does not carry an API certification.
I do feel OK about using it and my Road King UOAs have been very good. Add to that it's a Citgo product and this is their business.
That information is incorrect.
They carry a license for this product, up to CK-4. #0080, page 3, for both the 10w-30 and 15w-40 semi-syns. (also the dino and full syns, but I didn't include them)
Even the 50 grade is licensed, but not a current spec (CI-4).
