Good oils, maybe better then average, but that is it. 5W40 Pentosin is average HC oil. Much better oils available in the market, including Wal Mart. However, their 5W30 Pento III that meets VW 504.00/507.00, MB 229.51 and BMW LL-04 for diesel engines is really, really good.
They were taken over by Fuchs in March 2016, so I do not know whether anything is changed. Pentosin is mostly known as best in business when it comes to steering fluid, DSG fluids and really good (not best) brake fluid.
