The SN GF-5 version of the oil has been reformulated with heavier base oils resulting in a VI of only 169. The kinematic viscosity spec's are as follows: KV40 44.77cSt KV100 8.466cSt VI 169 It was discussed in the following thread: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2508363&page=4
