As some one who lives in the region, singapore is a very car-unfriendly nation. There is a 10 year car approval permit to pay that is called COE that could cost 30,000 Singapore Dollars. It does not make sense for the general workers to own a car in singapore, hence you see those small motorcycles outside. The bosses and execs would own cars. If I was a singaporean, I woudnt own a car too. No way I am paying such a sum to the govt.
Looks like minimal to no contamination with <1 ppm Silicon and no other metals present. Very clean oil. Viscosity similar to a 40 grade engine oil. May I ask what this GL-5 is going into?
It's a VOA so to be expected, right? Just a forklift diff.
Thanks for the info & yeah in theory, I just think about all the opportunities it can get contaminated along the way. From the blending process, taking the virgin oil sample, to the oil lab that may have prior contamination it's amazing how clean it shows up on the results. Ha!
The label says "Avoid Drinking..." 
I'd say it was a good thing to change being it only has 60 hrs on it.
what is that?

it looks pretty foamy, was it drained or did you suck it out?
either way, did not look to appetizing
