I believe the 'shockproof' oils have a ton of molybdenum in them ... not just the soluble kind ... but also the solid molydisulphide.
I was just shopping for a good 75W-140 for a Troy-Bilt rototiller. I had some Coastal 85W-140 which was rated for GL5, GL4 & GL3. Smell was
not heavy with sulfur and I was impressed that it was rated for all those applications. I wish I had bought more of that stuff a year ago because now the store I got it from (Advance Auto) has dumped it in favor of other, lesser brands including Lucas, Accel and Valvoline.
I gave the Accel and Valvoline the sniff test. They smelled the same (skanky sulfur) ... but the Valvoline was twice the price.
I don't buy Lucas because I think there stuff is ordinary quality at a premium price. Like Valvoline ... only worse.
So, I didn't buy any of the oils they had there.
I found a Chevron dealer locally and will be trying to get some Delo 85W-140 with their borate-based additive package.
For something like an infrequently-used rototiller, I don't think it's worth anything too exotic.
