The PP 5W30 is right at the thin end of the 30 grade with KV100 = 9.8 cSt (the cut off is 9.3 cSt).
But not only is it Dexos1-Gen2, it is also one of the few Euro ACEA A5/B5 oils. To be A5/B5 it needs to pass a shear stability stay-in-grade (KO 30) test. To be this close to the bottom of the 30 grade range, yet still pass a shear stability test means the oil must be very well formulated IMO.
It looks like a great oil, for both 5W30 and 5W20 applications, and all but the very coldest 0W20 applications.
