2016 MSDS actually says 35-50 % PAO regardless PP of -45°C would have been easily accomplished by using group 3 only.

Thanks for the analysis.

Thanks for the VOA, it looks like a traditional Euro oil, which is good.
The zinc is at 945ppm which is about right for a Euro oil and about 200ppm richer than a typical ILSAC oil.
The viscosity is ~13.1 cSt, which is just above the J300 limit of 12.5 cSt, making it a thin 40 grade and suitable for thick 30 grade applications, such as older cars.
Being a Euro A3/B4 oil, it's required to have a TBN of 10 or more, Blackstone give it 7.8 but I believe their test is optimised for used oil, not fresh samples such as this. It's got a solid ~2500 ppm of Ca (no significant Mg), so a traditional long-life Euro oil.
