Don’t necessarily want to speak for Dave/HPL, but allow me to do so anyways haha.But for a serious question, why does the HPL 0W-30 supercar only meet API SL?

It’s all about the additive package. The specs come with the additive package purchased/used for that specific oil. In this case, the additive package used in the Supercar oil lineup meets API SL. My guess (truly uninformed, just a guess here) is that it’s because of too high of concentration of specific anti-wear components in the package.
I regret not ordering this for the Pentastar. It looks like a very robust oil. After I ordered the Premium Plus PCMO 0W-20, I stumbled on some additional info, and I can run higher viscosities safely in this engine. @OIL_UDDER is an ex-Pentastar engineer, and he provided some beneficial information about these engines here on the forum. Still, I am confident that the Premium Plus PCMO 0W-20 is very good motor oil.But for a serious question, why does the HPL 0W-30 supercar only meet API SL?
...at the end of the day, when it comes to high-performance motor oils, that API rating doesn't mean anything.
I agreeBITOG statement of year award contender, right here!
Looks like a great oil. (Waiting for the Amsoil haters to show up and do their thing )
@OVERKILL - you mysteriously said "understanding who is behind development" as one of your trust points for this oil. Care to enlighten us, or maybe provide a link or reference? Inquiring minds...

Rudnick was one of the key players behind the development of novel base oil blends, such as integrating AN's with PAO and POE. This approach was developed to overcome the issues with poor solubility and seal swell inherent with the use of PAO while also working to reduce the surface competition...bobistheoilguy.com
What's the difference between the Super Car oil and the Euro Passenger Car Oil? For instance, Super Car 5W-40 vs. Euro Passenger 5W-40?The Supercar oil is made with a 502.00 ad pack as a starting point.

And M1 0w-40, and Castrol 0w-40...etc. It's Full-SAPS.High levels of zinc, calcium and other anti-wear additives not suited to most modern exhaust systems and DI engines, much like "German" (now Belgian) Castrol 0W-30...
Is full saps only an issue if you have catalytic converters. Or will it affect anything else. I ask because they recommend low saps for my car. Audi RS3And M1 0w-40, and Castrol 0w-40...etc. It's Full-SAPS.
Even with cats, if the engine doesn't lose oil out the exhaust, would it even matter?Is full saps only an issue if you have catalytic converters. Or will it affect anything else. I ask because they recommend low saps for my car. Audi RS
