Pro S 5w-40 hths is 4.07.

Fuchs Titan RACE pro S and R are pretty good oils, made originally by Silkolene in the UK.

On this side of the pond yeah it's mostly Napier products with their VP90 corrosion protection. However this leaves the shotgun wet so I am hoping to try out Hornady One Shot on the semi's autos.
