For the record however, that Nulon product is not an SAE grade, it does not have a API SN license, it is not approved for the two Mercedes-Benz approvals it lists, and I doubt it has either of the two VW approvals either. Given that I'm not sure I'd trust it is ACEA A3/B4 but that's not as easy to verify.

This is their product sheet for the 10W40 synblend
https://www.nulon.com.au/products/s...c-10w-40-high-performance-engine-oil.pdf

But yes, Nulon is one of our dodgey brands, still quite popular though.

The only two I trust as having real specs is their Dexos1-Gen2 5W30 synthetic which is listed on the GM dexos website, and their PAO based VW504/507 rated 5W30 Euro Synthetic where they link to the actual VW certificate on their web page
https://www.nulon.com.au/products/f...full-synthetic-5w-30-european-engine-oil

Nulon is one of those love / hate brands, depending on your point of view.
