Perhaps this discussion deserves a separate thread. Despite that, two examples:
Mannol Energy Combi LL 7907, advertised as "bisynthetic PAO + Ester":

>> group 2 & 3 with a tiny drop of POE
MSDS says
"phenol, dodecyl - 0.02–0.17%" and
"2,6-di-tert-butylphenol - 0.1–0.3%",
nothing you'd get excited about......
Mannol O.E.M. 7707 5W-30, says "fully synthetic" or "premium synthese" on the bottle:

Pourpoint -42°C; Noack of 12.8 % doesn't even meet many/most current approvals,
again likely group 2 & 3 with the tiniest of a drop of POE. MSDS doesn't help much,
but at least says:
"p-dodecilphenol - 0.06–0.13%". Not surprising at all.
I know these aren't 'Legend 0W-30' and 'Longlife 5W-30', but they're advertized the
same or very similarly at least and I'd have a hard time believing Mannol's claim to
be more true on LL and Legend.
Feel free to do your own google search. I'd suggest looking into the Russion oil club
forum. There's plenty of virgin oil analysises and they aren't even that hard to read.
