Every once in awhile I see what appears to be some off-brand or unusual labeled oil so curiosity had me do an analysis:
Aluminum - 1
Iron - 1
Copper 1
Moly - 70
Boron - 4
Silicon - 4
Sodium - 4
Calcium - 1940
Magnesium - 727
Phosphorus - 1700
Zinc - 1900
40C Kinematic Viscosity - 61
100C Kinematic Viscosity - 10.5
Flashpoint 425F
Dyed - Dark Green
Made by D-A Lubricants Lebanon, Indiana; www.dalube.com
No API Starbursts anywhere.
On the back label there is a statement: "Contains high zinc and phosphorus additive concentrations which can be detrimental to cars and trucks with catalytic converters. Consult owners manual for proper oil selection. Meets no API classification."
I asked the counter guy who buys this product and he said mostly racers and racing engine rebuilders.
NOTE: I would NOT even remotely consider using this oil for a daily driver oil.
