New member Vincenzo_F brought this oil to my attention due to it's high 186 VI.
I thought the oil had been around for a while since it only meets the BMW LL-98 spec' and not the LL-01 but i don't remember the VI being that high. Maybe the PDS info (see below) has been up-dated in this 2012 version:

What is interesting to me is the very low KV100 of 10.1cSt for an A3/B4 oil and an apparent HTHSV of 3.5cP. This implies very high quality GP IV & V base oils are used. They do claim "Extremely low evaporation loss" so presumably the NOACK is very low, although it would be nice to know what it actually is.
Anyway this would be a nice alternative to GC with it's low 166 VI depending on availability.
