And a video:
Is that test for oil certification/approval ... or more for testing the design of the sump/oil pick-up and oiling system under extreme cornering G-force conditions? The video description doesn't say much.

You are quite welcome. I believe that's just a small segment of what the Nurburgring section of the test looks like, it's VERY intense. That's why I always harp on the OEM testing protocols being one of the best barometers, if it passes A40 you know it is no slouch.
This is nothing like ISO. There's no pay-to-play. Any oil company can label their product with "recommended for XYZ" and it doesn't cost them a penny. A glaring example of this is MaxLife MV ATF. If an automaker wants to sell a product which indicates it was approved under a certain specification then they pay the $5k or whatever the nominal fee is and be done with it. Automakers have a vested interest in making the correct oil easy to identify by the consumer.To get the blessing and be allowed to print on the bottle certain XYZ approval is a typical example of pay-for-play where money is exchanged for privilege to get in the game and engage in approved activity (sales) if you meet certain minimum stated requirements of oil composition.
No different than any other pay-to-play scheme like ISO. This type of game always favors the big boys.
