$$$ for what you get. I would rather run Amsoil or German Castrol. Check at bobistheoilguy.com for more info on any fluid

from what i've read, you should just steer waaayyyyyy clear of that stuff. like you shouldn't even think about it... seriously..

just go up to the sticky about which oil and filter to use in this section.

I can not vouch for their motor oil......However, I used the gl4 in my tranny once and every gear was notchier than stock nissan fluid. I changed to mt90 and it shifts much smoother. Stands to reasion their engine oil would be sub-par as well.
I would steer clear of this JUNK!!!!



BTW:I was told by several people that AMSOIL is good also
