Thanks for the VOA.
This oil looks pretty okay for the price, although it isn't the cleanest out there.
They even include a little moly.

Is it really?
I thought that it might be based upon the fairly low level of moly shown in this VOA.

Yes it actually is.

I plan on using this oil for my older vehicles as they usually introduce gas, leading to a quicker oil change than normal.

I thought about throwing it in the company van, but it gets severe service i.e idle, stop-go, short trips all day, along with heavier loads depending on the job.

Right now I currently run Quaker State Ultimate Durability 5w30 on a rebuilt motor with 11,000 miles in it.
