99% chance it's at least serviceable but what engine and what does the owners manual say to use at a minimum. I'd use this in all my vehicles if I had it.
Not a U.S. marketed product. ACEA A3/B4 So high HTHS Full saps lubricant which should make for a great HD all rounder.
The proof is in the running not parsing tech tidbits. Use with confidence. What engine again? You asked the forum to choose between two oils a few days ago, I guess this one came out ahead.
Magnetec = Great Product
ACEA A3/B4 Great oil spec.
What's the worry?

Your from the Philippines. Does your oil normally have the API certification?
I believe ACEA A3/B4 is still a current Euro spec. What are you planning on pouring it into?

Castrol self-certifies that it meets API SP spec and I wouldn't hesitate to trust a company like Castrol. They aren't going to pay for the donut in countries that typically don't care about "American" specs though. I am surprised they don't list at least a JASO spec.

I'd use it.
It means what they want it to mean. If I were to guess I would say it is a high(er) VI non-hydrocracked oil much like Chevron sells.
Technology improves, if you want an ACEA A3/B4 oil then go for it. That’s your marker of proven performance.
