I put this in the general category so as not to give away any clues. The people on this board are so technically adept they don't need the extra help. Make your guess based on specs.

Characteristics Unit Data Audit
Density at 20°C kg/m³ 848,0 DIN 51757
Colour yellow brown visual
Viscosity at 100°C mm²/s 5,03 DIN 51 562
Viscosity at 40°C mm²/s 93,9 DIN 51 562
Viscosity index VI 168 DIN ISO 2909
HTHS at 150°C mPа*s 4,26 ASTM D5481
CCS Viscosity at -30°C mPa*s 6200 ASTM D5293
Pourpoint °C -57 DIN ISO 3016
Noack Volatility % M/M 5,7 ASTM D5800
Flash point °C 246 DIN ISO 2592
TBN mg KOH/g 10 ASTM D2896
Sulphated ash %wt. 1,3 DIN 51 575
Low Temp. Pumping viscosity (MRV) at -35°C mPa*s 18.000 ASTM D 4684

All indicated data are approximate values and are subject to the commercial fluctuations.
 
I think cP=mm2/s for these purposes, so I think 5.03 at 100C is thinner than an XW20.
But, the cold start tests are at -35/30C, so it's a 5WXX.
5W16??? I'm perplexed.

Wait, the HTHS is super high...I'd have to guess this is not normal motor oil!

Too easy for y'all. I wonder if that is a typo on the Viscosity @100C?
