It's just a guess, I don't know nothing for sure.
I'd guess this is either Petronas or Exxon (who also blend in Belgium). This oil almost certainly contains Shellvis 200, a very low SSI Styrene-Isoprene VII. The KV100 of 12.87 cst is only just above the spec min. of 12.5 so it's clearly not shearing on KO30. In truth, this is more like a glorified 0W-30 than a 0W-40. Both Petronas and Exxon have strong technology links to Infineum who peddle Shellvis VII's.
KO90 if its for MB.
Good job its not an OCP hey
Don't MB still insist that the OEM oils have to meet basic ACEA specs like A3/B4 in which case, at some stage the oil will have been tested against KO30?
Okay, so the oil has to do KO90. At equal SSI, what fares better on KO90, OCP or HSI? OCP no?
Put zero SSI HSI against 22 SSI OCP, and yes, HSI does better on KO90 but put zero SSI HSI against an lowish SSI OCP (didn't BASF make one donkey's years ago?) and the OCP would hold its own... hey...
