PDS question

[Cup of Joe]

I received this PDS from a sales rep today. What is the general consensus of this oil? I need it to remain serviceable beyond 25k miles.

No way to tell without doing a used oil analysis at some point, I'm afraid.

Who makes it?

25K miles?! In what? Looks like a light/medium duty HDEO or long drain GF-3 SL. What MFG spec does it meet?

Amazing.

Only now, after it finally sinks in that all the insults, lessons on the flat Earth, misdirection, smoke and mirrors, etc are not working, this comes up.

And yet, as late as Feb, 2010, the website does not have this information.

It didn't even have this yesterday.

It's a Synlube PDS.

IIRC on the other site they are claiming it was there all along. We just couldn't find it according to one of their agents. LOL Too thick for me, especially in something calling for a 30 grade oil, forget about a 20 grade. No thanks!

I saw that. It may be there and I have just never been able to find it. I also don't know why Miro had not provided it himself. I asked for the PDS and he emailed it to me. He is going to email me an MSDS when he gets back to his office.
