Saw this oil at the local Aeon/Jusco supermarket, which is a japanese owned supermarket chain in malaysia. The price is very cheap for a full synthetic, but something doesn't add up to me.
For one, the VI seems exaggerated at 168, which i think even a shell or castrol or mobil syn , is only about 130 to 140.
Next, this seems to be a thick 40wt with 14.33 cst at 100 C, correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it impossible for a 5W-40 to be resource conserving , especially at THAT cst ?
lastly the flashpoint seems ridiculously low at 210 C.
Well AEON is a reputable company, so probably somebody in the purchasing doesn't know squat about motor oil ?
