Perhaps it was a typo and meant to be "genteel" or even "gentile". No matter which was intended, it could use clarification.

People in the developing world are smarter than us because they have to be.
Remember our average ancestors drove an ox cart half way across the Great Plains and started farming to survive. We’re all just lab rats now waiting for our next treat.
That’s the first thing that came to mind for me, as well. Translation apps are far from perfect.
I sometimes watch reruns of Wagon Train and Gunsmoke and few others so I am familiar with it. iirc, they lubed the wheels/axle with animal fat. They killed each other over using a low HT/HS fat.
no, more protective.
It is interesting to analyze developed or developing countries by giving the calcium content in fat.
"I can find these oils. However, it's hard to find pao-ester in Türkiye."
You have found different oils that meet the requirements and there were also other good suggestions here including C3, etc.
You are chasing pao-ester ... which has nothing to do with meeting the Mitsubishi requirements. And if you stick around long enough, you'll find out that there is no "best oil" or at least no consensus as far as I know.
I would chase approvals and not the base oil.

Would it surprise you if I tell you I go technical meetings mainly because they bring bagels and cream cheese and we can chat about other unrelated stuff ...
That's how America works!
You just got here! How would you know what the board has "turned into" already?
Are you saying the calcium comes from motor oil?
Yes, you're right. I realized that this forum site wouldn't yield any results. Thank you for your answers.
A lot of great info on this site. I think @buster also answered your specific question regarding the base oil.
The companies can tweak or revise formulation and the percentages may change. This much pao, that much ester, Grp III only ... It may even be proprietary info and/or not readily available to average consumer. And we have to ask that question every year or every few months if the formulation has changed or not.
The point is if you have a gallon of a great base oil, will you use it in your car? Or will you check for the requirements, certification, approvals, etc.?

A lot has been goin on on this thread.
It really is interesting too see a manufacturer specifying the concentration of an individual element seems a bizarre, but looks like thats what Mitsubishi did.
Where in Turkey do you live? I think i would go with 0w30 rather than 0w20, it can help better with summer time temperatures. Castrol Magnatec is a fantastic oil, but unfortunately its discontinued in the US, so you won't hear much about it on this forum anymore. However on one of the gr86 forums someone said that is still available in Turkey. I would just use that. It is one of the few oils with a strong Titanium additive.
Also another thing to note: as far as I know, the gas you use does not contain alcohol. That is something to keep in mind

I think Mitsubishi was doing that as a hedge against possible LSPI.

I love it how my Toyota mentions nothing but viscosity. Synthetic? Conventional? Kernel oil? It does not matter so long it flows

Agreed. In general i like redline fluids, but that high Ca is what keeps me away. Would not meet oem specs here
