SynLube™ Lube-4-Life ® ...for Engines exceeds all of the following performance requirements:
Oh man, stupid me. It does not fullfill these Specs, it exceeds the specs....
I should have read first, before I start to discuss with you such a product. They do not even claim to have the ACEA or ILSAC releases.
We can discuss now a long time if the product would pass this test or that test. We will never get an appropriate answer, because we don't have the data.
But let's do it the other way round: Let's try to find another oil with Google who fulfills ILSAC GF-4, ACEA A3/B3/B4 and E5. I am quite sure that you will not find such an oil.
By the way, the claimed Caterpillar 10 TBN requirements means automatically that the chemical limits from ILSAC GF-4 cannot be fulfilled.
I posted this link from Oronite so you can see that each Spec has it's own demands concerning the oil. I still believe that you cannot pass with one oil all these specs.
