4 quarts is a gallon. I ordered some oil from them a while back. They substituted it with a muvh lower cost product that I had no use for. They wanted me to keep it and call it even. It was shipped back for a refund but it was a hassle. Let us know how your purchase goes.

I posted a thread way back when on this. They don't recommend 0w30 for pickup trucks...no explanation given...Enjoy!
They seem to have api approvals. Guess we’ll see when it gets here. I got the 5w30.

You will be fine. I just remember I couldn't get to many answers out of them.
You can do better than that price for solely API licensed oil. I don’t understand the interest in this brand, especially considering the way they obfuscate their approvals.
I’d say a PAO and Ester based oil with API rating at $5.31 a quart is pretty **** good.
Did you also try the gmdexos approved list?

Let me know if it turns out to be $21.25 a quart. A lot of this type of nonsense on Ebay and Amazon. 1 gallon pack of four and pictures of gallon jugs is not a sure bet. Ask me how I know. I'm rooting for you!
Yes like I said an API licensed oil.
I’ll test it before I put it in a vehicle and see if the oxidation indicates the presence of an ester. I’m also waiting for their reply.There is nothing on their page that indicates this particular oil is PAO and Ester based, FYI:

I got my response back from Triax on my question on whether or not the SRT is PAO and Ester. Here is the response I got. He also sent me the SDS. Which I’ll post as well.
Hello Bill, all of our Synergy SRT oils are PAO Easter based, like our Euro line oils. You will see a significant difference in performance when you use the product vs most other motor oils. I have attached the data sheet for your reference.
Thank you

So it's Group III based primarily, which is what I suspected.
This is the first time I've seen an MSDS use that language versus a CAS #.
Yep you can get a better oil at Walmart for $3.90/quart or less. Like I mentioned I’m not sure what people’s attraction is to this brand.

im assuming this would be mostly group 3 also. Although I’m not sure why it’s not listed.

Could be, but that's 20-30% PAO, which is higher than the 5-20% of "who knows" listed on the Triax MSDS. Esters aren't typically listed on MSDS sheets because they don't pose a hazard, same is the case for AN's. So that remaining 40-50% (allowing room for the additive package, VII...etc) may be a blend of AN's, PoE, could be straight Group III, we don't know. MSDS sheets aren't a recipe, they just give us a small insight into what constitutes a hazard and is thus called out that is in the blend.
