Notice some of the declared ingredients:
"Severely Hydrotreated 64742-53-6
Light or Heavy or
Napthenic Distillates 64742-52-5 "
So at any one time, you may get heaviy oils or light mineral oils or a mix......
"of Ca, Zn, S, P, N"
This appears to be more of a Gear Lube additive package than an engine lube mix.
"Olefin Copolymer- Viscosity Improver"
OK, since we used the light oil for the wierd additive package, we will add a polymer (a thickener) that will thicken up your oil to at least one more SAE grade, etc.
Also notice on the MSDS, and this is what I have been trying to emphasize, is that the MSDS only lists hazardous substances required by law, and it MAY contain substances that you would not know existed unless you did an NMR.
Bottom Line, it's an oil thickener with some additives of unknown quality and concentration.
